The terrorist group ETA has informed civil society organizations in the Basque Country of its dissolution. In a letter sent on April 16 and published by the Spanish newspaper eldiarionorte.es on Wednesday, the organization puts an end to its decades-long armed struggle for independence, ahead of the planned official announcement of their dissolution.

“Through this communication, we want to inform you of the decision that Euskadi Ta Askatasuna [ETA] has made,” reads the statement, written in Basque and stamped with the organization’s logo.
