	Sattahip / U-Tapao
		Sattahip, Thailand is located at approximately 12º37'30''N 100º55'00"E in the northern portion of the Gulf of Thailand.
		Sattahip's commercial port, called Juksamet Port, is located in Chuk Samet Bay in the southeast part of Sattahip Bay.
		Sattahip Bay is relatively shallow, with depths of 10 to 13 ft (3 to 4 m) prevailing over most of its extent, although depths of less than 6.5 ft (2 m) exist in some places.

		In fact Sattahip is of enormous propaganda value to the LTTE, providing it with an unprecedented opportunity to reach a world audience and make its case for international legitimacy.
		The difference this year, at Sattahip 1, is clearly in the rhetoric and nuances and not in the substance of the LTTE posture.
		The substantive result of the Sattahip 1, other than the commitment to a timetable of future talks, is the agreement on a joint Government-LTTE 'Task Force' to oversee the rehabilitation of the war-torn Northern and Eastern Tamil areas.

		And the fact that Sattahip is an important Thai naval base that is also used by the US Navy in its South East Asian theatre of operations makes the actual location of the first direct high level talks between the Sri Lankan Government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam no less significant.
		Hakeem proceeds to Sattahip (I doubt whether there would be time for any stop-over in Bangkok), there are Muslim groups and individuals in the East who are in direct contact with the Eastern LTTE (with and without Kilinochchi's guidance) to explore the possibilities of ethnic co-existence.
		Their interests would come into play only in the long term when the negotiations turn towards the larger state structure that would have to be arranged so as to accommodate and give effect to a comprehensive political settlement of the ethnic conflict.

		Sattahip is the site of the Thai First Fleet naval base, and has deepwater port facilities -- useful if Tiger delegates arrive by sea.
		The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not say which venue at Sattahip would be used for the talks.
		However, the meetings are likely to be held at the spacious naval compound, which has also been used for opening ceremonies for the annual joint US-Thai Cobra Gold military exercises.

		The Sattahip peace talks generate a sense of optimism in Sri Lanka with the People's Alliance also welcoming the process in overall terms, but the challenge is to translate the euphoria of a possible conflict resolution into action.
		THERE is a sense of elation in Sri Lanka over the direct talks held by the government with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at the Sattahip Naval Base in Thailand between September 16 and 18.
		One of the subtleties that emerged from Sattahip was the manner in which the P.A. administration was referred to by the delegations.

		Indeed, the LTTE is known for its uncompromising commitment to the cause of Tamil Eelam.
		Balasingham's statement at Sattahip is not the first time that the LTTE has said it will accept less than Tamil Eelam.
		While analysts have described Balasingham's statement as a redefining of the LTTE's goal, what he did at Sattahip was reiterate the known Tiger negotiating position, of stating the options and signaling flexibility.

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN \| Sri Lanka: The peace within
		At the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), South Asia expert S D Muni was inclined to view newspaper reports from Sattahip as a bit too ''euphoric'', considering that what had taken place was a preliminary round and not expected to produce much in the way of concrete results.
		Muni suspected that Balasingham and his team may not have had a chance to be adequately briefed by Prabhakaran on the LTTE's exact position, which may emerge at the second stage when substantive issues are addressed.
		While India did not send any official observer to the Sattahip talks, both the LTTE and Colombo have taken care to see that New Delhi is kept officially briefed on progress by Erik Solheim, Norway's special envoy at Sattahip.
