ETA wants to create an independent Marxist state in what Basque nationalism calls "Euskal Herria", that is the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, Navarre and the French Basque Country. On the other hand, there are no "loyalist paramilitary" forces in Spain's Basque Country. ETA is the sole terrorist organization operating in the region and, hence, there's no "conflict" in the Northern Irish sense. ETA uses not-really-adequate Northern Ireland conflict rhetoric to justify their actions.
