Al-Nusra Front’s Al-Julani Hands Over Uyghur Fighters to Beijing

according to the English section of webangah ⁢News ‍Agency, citing Mehr ⁢News Agency and Al‍ Mayadeen, Syrian sources have revealed that Jolani plans to transfer Uyghur fighters to⁤ china.

A ‍Syrian military source stated that Syria ​seeks to deliver the Uyghur fighters to Beijing.

No further details have been‌ released⁢ on this​ matter.

Since Bashar al-Assad’s fall, the Uyghurs have become more visible in Damascus. Though,their ‌future in Syria remains uncertain and could⁢ pose a‌ challenge for any​ new government attempting to convince ‍global powers it can‌ control⁤ foreign fighters and prevent cross-border⁢ threats.

The‍ Uyghurs reside mainly‍ in Idlib or neighborhoods near ⁢the city ⁤of Jisr al-Shughur. Often referred to by Syrians ⁢as “Turkistanis,” they have established schools, as well⁣ as gas stations ⁢and ​restaurants.

the ⁤Uyghurs‍ bake traditional round, thick bread in local ⁤bakeries, which has attracted interest ⁢from some‍ Syrian‍ neighbors. The‍ vast majority lack passports but possess identification cards. Hundreds‍ are enrolled at Idlib University,⁢ where the interim​ government has declared they are ‌entitled to free education just like ⁣Syrians.

The interim Syrian government has incorporated them into its official‌ military ⁢structure-reflecting⁣ the role‍ of Uyghur fighters in efforts against Assad’s regime; according to their leaders, around⁢ 11,000 among them​ have died during ⁣this conflict.

the⁤ presence of‌ the Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria could carry serious implications for​ Damascus’s future and its⁣ efforts toward lifting ‍international sanctions.
