ICHEOKU says Catalonian parliament has formerly declared the Northeastern region, formerly of Spain, an independent nation, freed from Spain. It was a natural reaction to Madrid's attempt to stifle them and as always subjugate them. But Catalans overwhelmingly voted in a referendum to seek an independent homeland which their parliament assented to with a formal declaration of independence.
ICHEOKU says congratulations to the newest country in the world, admitted necessary recognitions have not yet come their way from the nations of the world including the United Nations recognizing them. How everything will eventually work out nobody knows nor can predict; but ICHEOKU says there is no meaningful way of putting the gene back in the bottle short of a full scale devastating war by Madrid to try and reclaim that Barcelona region. The only question is whether Europe can afford to have a war start and rage on in the continent. Russia has not said a thing yet and neither has China. But the poser is if Kosovo and South Sudan could, why not Catalonia? Your guess is as good as mine. We shall see.
The overarching factor is the lack of the stomach by Europe to accept another war breaking out in their continent and this will be a sure factor in deciding the final outcome of this declaration and Spain's opposition to it. The good news for Catalonians is that the United States of America and the world have so many other more pressing issues they are saddled with right now and will not want to take on additional crisis resulting from Spain's possible plan to forcefully put down the insurrection and breakaway of Catalans. In the final analysis, Catalonia will become and will be allowed to pursue their destiny, different and separate from Spain and there is nothing Madrid can do about it. ICHEOKU says with the authority of Kosovo and South Sudan, Catalonia should equally be allowed their independence; likewise other separatist groups like the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Palestine etc.
Man was born free and democracy allows man to have a say on how they go about their daily pursuit including having an independent existence. Therefore, no other man should be allowed to constrain another man's desired independent existence. Staying together in any relationship, be it marriage or political entity, is not by force or cohesion; so any dissatisfied member of a polity or association should be allowed to take leave of such union in pursuit of their God given chance at happiness. Catalonians followed the peaceful trail and therefore should be allowed their independence existence, without force or intimidation or any attempt made to otherwise cause turmoil in Europe trying to rein them back into Spain. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the newest nation Catalan and reechoes the words of beautiful Catalans chants that "Catalonia triumphant shall again be rich and bountiful. Drive away these people who are so conceited and so arrogant. Just as we cut golden ears of wheat, when the time comes, we cut off chains." Fortunately, the time came and they did. Free at last, free at last; at last Catalans are free of Spanish shackles. Hurray Catalonians.
