It is always good for everywhere when a terror group throws in the towel and, after a half-century of asymmetric operations, the Basque separatists of the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna have announced they are disbanding. Formed in 1959, the group was extremely violent during the Cold War-era, killing almost 900 and wounding thousands more, largely during Franco’s dictatorship before moving into a form of open combat against their nemesis vigilante group, the Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación, which took a heavy toll on both sides.

A 2010 ceasefire turned into a 2017 disarmament and now, the ETA is no more (hopefully).
