 Pretty much every government sends army to take out rebellion if things escalate to that point. Although there are exeptions in the history, but usually those haven't been rebellions to the letter.
Separatists don't need much support  to operate, they just need "not much resistance", especially armed resistance. For example Hitler took his "separatist" forces to Austria and joined it to Germany after "a fair" election. And in Africa there is plenty of armed groups, they don't need local support to operate, just guns.
