Eta's ceasefire statement decoded

As someone who has lived in the Basque Country (Euskadi), I am still concerned for the resolution of the long-standing issues in that country. It has some similarities to the NI situation in that there are areas claimed by the hard line separatists which the majority in those areas don't appear to want:

Eta believes that Navarre, now one of Spain's 17 autonomous regions and previously a medieval kingdom that covered much of the Basque-speaking lands in Spain and France, should form part of the Basque Country. Most people in Navarre disagree.

I well remember being in a stadium ringing to the chant "Naparroa Euskadi da!" and even then feeling that perhaps the Navarronese didn't agree, being as how they seemed not to have been a Basque-speaking area for many centuries. Also, given that Navarre appears to have conquered Euskadi rather than the other way round ... (or have I missed something here?) ...
Anyway, it is clear to all but the most hard-line, that depriving a majority of people of liberties because they have the wrong ancestry (is this not racism?) or because they don't speak a particular language is not the way forward. I write as someone who is very sympathetic to linguistic minorities, cultural diversity and greater local autonomy. A negotiated settlement and a modus vivendi is what is needed. Anything else really is an alibi for murder: it's not freedom-fighting it's bullying and murder and it is profoundly anti-democratic. The recent moves by Batasuna to embrace democracy and distance themselves from violence are to be welcomed.
