Default International News

We have a Alberta Thread, and Canadian Thread. I think we need a international thread.

Not all news is on its own thread worthy and we end up with a bunch of single post threads. So maybe we have a place where people can see Interesting international headlines and talk about them

Basque Seperatist Group ETA ends its existence after 60 years

http://www.euronews.com/2018/05/03/b...r-independence

Quote:




David Harland, the Executive Director of Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, read the letter out to reporters in Geneva.


"ETA has decided to end its 60 years of existence. The decision has been taken by the entire membership of the organisation. As a consequence of this decision ETA has completly dismantled all of its structures. ETA has put and end to all political activities. It will not longer express political positions, promote initiatives or interact with other actors,"

ETA was listed as a terrorist group who had killed approximately 820 people between 1968-2010.

This thread title might not be detailed enough so I should keep typing words and then it can sound more official.

Only if we can call it "Welcome to The Crunch Zone! For threads and stuff that don't have things that belong in other places and stuff. Like a vipa!"
