List of active autonomist and secessionist movements

This article needs additional citationsfor verification.
Please help improve this articleby adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challengedand removed. (March 2008)

This is a list of currently active autonomist and secessionist movements around the world.

Entries on this list meet two criteria: they are active movements with living, active members, and they are seeking greater autonomy or freedom for a geographical region (as opposed to personal autonomy). What is and is not considered to be an autonomy and secessionist movement is, of course, contentious.

For defunct movements and groups, please see: List of historical autonomist and secessionist movements

South Africa

From 1968 to 1993, the Apartheid regime created six Bantu Homelands for black African tribes, where they formed over 70 percent of the local population in a scheme to make them further apart from society when it was under white European minority rule. These Bantu Homelands received 'independence'. In South Africa: Transkei, Ciskei, Venda and Bophuthatswana were declared independent, while others (like KwaZulu, Lebowa, Siswoto and QwaQwa), received partial autonomy, but were never granted independence. In South-West Africa, Ovamboland, Kavangoland, and East Caprivi were granted self-determination. The condition of sovereign independent states was not recognised internationally.
