    Useful visual reminder: The Syrian refugee crisis is fueled by the Assad regime's indiscriminate slaughter and wholesale bombardment of cities and villages since 2012

    You can see the numbers explode as the Assad regime starts escalating indiscriminate violence against urban centers from 2012 (e.g. massive early spike in Lebanon concurrent with Homs offensive).

    A senior Chinese official, the DCM for the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan is trying to deprive the Uyghur people of their very ethnicity by denying that Uyghurs are an ethnically Turkic people. The Chinese govt is attempting to erase/erode the unique ethnic identity.

    The Uyghur people are not descendants of the Turks. The fallacy claiming 'East Turkistan is our country' is ridiculous & ignorant & condemnable. Linguistically, the Uyghur language belongs to the Turkic language group, but it is not related by blood.
