(3 May 2018) Spanish separatist group ETA announced Thursday it has ended its armed campaign and political efforts to create a Basque homeland, though the Spanish government vowed to continue prosecuting the organisation's militants.
ETA, which killed more than 850 people in its six decades of existence, said in an open letter to the Basque people that it has "completely dismantled all of its structures" and "will no longer express political positions, promote initiatives or interact with other stakeholders".
David Harland, Executive Director of the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue which was involved in facilitating talks between the two sides, on Thursday hailed "the end of a certain chapter of terrorist violence in Europe".
The letter was published by the Basque news website naiz.eus, a day after the group's intentions were leaked in a letter.
Former militants will keep on seeking a "reunited, independent, socialist, Basque-speaking and non-patriarchal Basque country", but they will do it outside of ETA, the letter said.
