 The peace talks were carried out in Oslo, Norway.In February 2017, the CPP-NPA-NDF declared that they will withdraw from the ceasefire, effective on February 10, 2017, due to the unfulfilled promise by the government that it will release all 392 political prisoners.However, the communists attacked and killed 3 soldiers before the withdrawal, which angered the government and made them declare a withdrawal from the ceasefire also.
