US, UK Will Not Recognise Catalonia Indepen.... by ninjasta: 6:08pm On Oct 27, 2017
The UK will not recognise the Catalan
parliament's decision to declare independence
from Spain, Downing Street says.
Theresa May's official spokesman said the
declaration was based on a vote that had been
declared illegal.
He added that the UK wanted to see the unity of
Spain preserved.
The Catalan regional parliament has voted to declare
independence from Spain, while the Spanish
parliament has approved direct rule over the region.

Moment Catalans declare independence - BBC
News
The UK prime minister's spokesman said in a
statement: "The UK does not and will not recognise
the unilateral declaration of independence made by
the Catalan regional parliament."
"It is based on a vote that was declared illegal by
the Spanish courts. We continue to want to see the
rule of law upheld, the Spanish constitution
respected, and Spanish unity preserved."
Catalan MPs backed the independence motion 70-10
in a ballot boycotted by the opposition.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had told
senators direct rule was needed to return "law,
democracy and stability" to Catalonia.
UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson earlier offered
his support to the Spanish PM.
After a meeting with Portugal's foreign minister in
Lisbon, he said: "We don't think, as far as we
understand the matter, that the referendum on
independence was well-founded in law.
"Therefore we remain very clear in our view that we
should uphold the constitutional integrity and
sovereignty of our Spanish friends and that's really
our commitment and our pledge."

There goes the bogus claim of mother of democracy by USA and UK. The UK and USA are still father and son of colonialism. All the nonsensical "American Value" is complete hogwash.

In International Politics, RECOGNITION (especially by the big powers) is the most important characteristic of a state as it boost the legitimacy of the government and provide avenue for international trade. This is what the likes of Kanu do not know, that the big powers in their own interests will not recognize the secession of any state any longer because of heir national interests.

And going by the stances of these powers as regards PALESTINE, the KURDS and now CATALONIA, I think those chanting secession here in Nigeria should see the hand writing on the wall.

Moreover, the last successful SECESSION that took place in 2011 (South Sudan) has created more humanitarian problems to the world than its intention of peace thus no one is ready to listen to anything secession or referendum.

In other words, the Catalonia independence leaders can't deceive their followers with the line
"The United Nations will invade the country with a cavalry if we ever get arrested".

What is their (UK) problem?

Must you force people to stay together?

If you did not recognise their independence, are you feeding them?

Do they ask for your aid?

UK abeg park well and let Catalonia live in peace.
