Uphold your promise of. ‘never again’ act to end China’s ongoing Uyghur Genocide In East Turkistan !
Restoring East Turkistan Independence only way to preserve Uyghur/Turkic culture ,identity ,Existence
Recognize East Turkistan as an occupied country !

[Salih Hudayar @SalihHudayar]

The western media's incorrect framing of Uyghurs as a so-callled "Muslim minority in China" distorts international understanding of the East Turkistan question and ultimately enables China's ongoing colonial occupation and genocide in East Turkistan.

The Tarim River
Perhat Tursun
Just like the water of the Tarim
We began in this place, and in this place we shall end
We came from nowhere
And we are going nowhere
If God created mankind
God created us in this very place
If man evolved from the ape
We evolved from the local ape of this place
Like a deathbed testament, broken and interrupted; like blood coughed out, countless currents
Tarim, oh wound opened from ancient times to the distant horizon
When will the blood within you cease to flow?
Like racial traces, sometimes you vanish, sometimes you appear
Like dynasties, sometimes you roar at the world, sometimes you fade away
But the mountains, howling like wolves
Proclaim everything that has faded to the eighteen thousand worlds
Yet no one understands their language
Mighty angels, luminous gods
When they hoisted the sun as a banner into the sky
That was the bloodstain left on the cliff rocks
At the dawn of the centuries
You seep out from between those stones
That sun has turned to dust
The sacred mountain after it was moved
Stone by stone, slowly, gradually...
Gandun* cannot dry you up
Oh, flower gleaming within drops of blood
The destination-less traveler kneels and prostrates
Before the eternal procreative power of Umay*
Venereal diseases cannot contaminate you
Oh, sapphire-colored flower that opened in secret
Amidst the flames of bonfires left behind by caravans
Is it really so difficult to test the blood of the living?
Even from corpses of thousands of years ago
If we seek our origins
Seek the color of our skin in the dunes of the Taklamakan
Seek the composition of our blood in the waters of the Tarim
Just like the water of the Tarim
We began in this place, and in this place we shall end

Notes:
* Gandun: Used metaphorically in the poem, likely referring to artificial barriers, clinical elements, or external forces trying to sterilize or dry up life.
* Umay: The ancient Turkic goddess of fertility, earth, and rebirth.

Chinese trade networks are undermining the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act & letting Uyghur slave labor goods slip through. Addressing symptoms alone will fail until the root issue, Chinese colonial occupation of East Turkistan, is confronted & ended. https://t.co/aOGpPYa2Sd

"There is no way to liberation other than restoring the independence of East Turkistan."
The 76-years human rights framework has failed because it focused only on the superficial symptoms of the problem (China's crimes of oppression and genocide). The actual root cause of this is China's colonial occupation.
Restoring the independence of East Turkistan will bring an end to this genocide; it will safeguard the human rights, culture, religious freedom, identity, and very existence of the people of East Turkistan.

America’s fentanyl crisis is made in China.

The CCP is subsidizing the deadly chemicals killing Americans & sees strategic value in America’s suffering.

No more. I’m working with President Trump to reauthorize fentanyl sanctions & shut down Beijing’s poison pipeline.

@MofaJapan_en @JPN_PMO @MEAIndia
@JapanGov @MFATurkiye @StateDept @MFA_UZBEKISTAN @MFA_KZ @mofa_kr @MFA_Tajikistan @Turkmenistan_UN @MFA_China For decades, communist China cheated and begged for the international investments that ultimately lifted it into a global superpower, yet today the regime is actively promoting war against the very countries that helped it rise. Ever since Xi Jinping took power in 2013, the regime has thrown off its mask and abandoned its deceptive "peaceful rise" slogan, openly declaring hostility toward the free world while committing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghurs living under occupation. Imagine where the world will be in another five to ten years if we continue to deal with such an evil regime; there can be no true regional and global peace unless we free the nations like East Turkistan under Chinese illegal occupation and restore China to its borders within the Great Wall, as this criminal regime has already fully revealed its dangerous intentions to the world.

A great thread.

In the case of #Uyghurs, I would add more insights into the psychology of resisters, apart from the ones listed here:

1. Hereditary traits of resistance: Some resisters carry the trait and manifest it when needed. This is not evident in all, not even in those from resistance tribes. But it is crucial in resistance. In the case of Uyghurs, since 1949, Chinese occupiers of East Turkestan have consistently checked the hereditary lineage of Uyghurs over the past three generations to ensure there is no resistance to the colonial establishment. If there is historical resistance within the tribe, no one in that tribe can be promoted or trusted; they are merely marginalised and punished. This practice—often called “查三代” (chá sān dài, “checking three generations”)—stems from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) political review or vetting system (政审, zhèng shěn). It assesses an individual’s and their family’s political reliability, class background, and loyalty for promotions, party membership, sensitive jobs, military service, education, or other opportunities. For Chinese communists, political loyalty is essentially biologically determined. Over time, through this process, the hereditary resistance of Uyghur resisters has been largely and systematically weakened, their intensity diminished, and their heroism discouraged, leading to increased conformity to authority.
2. The power of faith: many resisters have a deep faith in God, which provides them with mental and emotional strength to question the promises of earthly authorities, especially in times of crisis—whether man-made or natural. One of the key factors in Uyghur resistance over the decades, despite heavy and tragic losses, is their steadfast faith in the face of insurmountable adversity, nurturing hope aligned with divine promises, and believing in a higher realm beyond this earthly existence.
3. A sense of moral maturity: resisters possess a profound moral conviction about what is good and what is evil. Even in times of moral uncertainty, under relentless propaganda and pressure, they reflect on the moral implications of their fight and try to follow their moral compass. They are always aware of their position on the side of right and the others, in particular those who do not question authority, on the side of wrong. Some live in a world clearly and morally divided and irreconcilable. They also shun the dangers of moral imprudence, which could lead them to fall prey to lies, deceptions, or propaganda. Many Uyghurs clearly distinguish their values from those of the Han Chinese and strongly uphold their moral values. Even among some Uyghur resisters, this maturity has evolved into a sense of moral superiority amid a political perception of Han Chinese that sees Uyghurs as inherently inferior. It is this sense of superiority among Uyghur resisters that has helped them maintain their faith in themselves and in their cause, which they see as morally justifiable and inherently noble.

The @Turkic_States stays silent on China's genocide & colonial occupation of East Turkistan. Washington must press the OTS to break that silence and tie US engagement to whether they do; a bloc that won't defend its own people won't stand by any partner against Beijing. @LukeDCoffey

📢📜 Commemorating the 512th Anniversary of the Yarkent Khanate (1514–1705)

The East Turkistan Government in Exile solemnly commemorates the 512th anniversary of the founding of the Yarkent Khanate by Sultan Said Khan in late May 1514.

For nearly two centuries, the Yarkent Khanate stood as a sovereign Turkic state governing the overwhelming majority of East Turkistan. From its political capital in Yarkent, the Khanate administered a flourishing civilization whose major cultural, economic, and intellectual centers included Kashgar, Khotan, Keriya, Aksu, Kucha, Turpan, Qarasheher, Qumul, Dukhan, and Uzgen. These historic cities formed a vibrant network of trade, scholarship, governance, and Islamic civilization along the Silk Road.
The eastern frontier of the Khanate extended to the historic Jiayu Pass (Jiayuguan), long recognized as the traditional boundary separating East Turkistan from China, underscoring the Yarkent Khanate’s geopolitical independence and distinct civilizational identity.

The Yarkent Khanate represented one chapter in East Turkistan’s more than 3,000-year history of statehood and its ancient civilization stretching back thousands of years. Throughout history, East Turkistan has been home to numerous sovereign Indo-European and Turkic civilizations and states, including the Tocharian city-states, the Xiongnu (Hun) Empire, the Kushan Empire, the Hephthalites, the Kök Türk Khaganate, the Uyghur Khaganate, the Kara-Khanid Khanate, the Idiqut Uyghur State, the Chagatai Khanates, and the Yarkent Khanate.

In the modern era, this enduring tradition of sovereignty continued through the State of Yette Sheher (1864–1877), the First East Turkistan Republic (1933–1934), and the Second East Turkistan Republic (1944–1949). Together, these states reflected the enduring aspirations of the East Turkistani people for independence, national dignity, and self-rule.
Like every nation throughout history, East Turkistan’s sovereignty has periodically been disrupted by foreign occupation and colonial domination, including rule by the Dzungar Khanate (1705–1759), the Manchu Qing Empire (1759–1863; 1877–1912), Chinese warlords (1912–1933), KMT-aligned Chinese warlords (1934–1943), and the Chinese Communist occupation (1949–present).

Despite these occupations, the political will of the East Turkistani people to reclaim their national sovereignty and independence has never been extinguished. That struggle continues today through the work of the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the collective efforts of East Turkistanis worldwide.

The Yarkent Khanate maintained diplomatic, cultural, and commercial relations with neighboring powers, including the Mughal Empire, Ming China, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Khanate of Bukhara, affirming its recognized place within the regional and international order of its time.

On this solemn anniversary, the East Turkistan Government in Exile honors the enduring legacy of the Yarkent Khanate as a pillar of our national history and identity. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the restoration of East Turkistan’s independence and national sovereignty in accordance with international law, historical continuity, and the inalienable right of all peoples to self-determination.

[Dr. Mamtimin Ala @MamtiminAla]

As a #Uyghur, this FT report puts me in a painful moral dilemma. They document the systematic dismantling of my people’s culture, identity, and society — yet fail to call it what it is: genocide.

Is half the truth better than silence in an indifferent world?

Or does their partial framing make them complicit in softening the horror?

Are not half-truths as dangerous as lies?

Or should all Uyghurs be eliminated in this genocide for others to “confidently” and “factually” call it a genocide properly, or forget it gently?

[Salih Hudayar @SalihHudayar]

13 years into China's genocide of Uyghurs/Turkic peoples in East Turkistan, the int'l community (@UNHumanRights, @IntlCrimCourt, etc.) still refuses to act. That cowardice is exactly what has emboldened Beijing to pass its fascistic "Ethnic Unity" Law with no fear of punishment.
