Al-Jolani hands over the “Uyghur” fighters to Beijing – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to RCO News Agency, citing Al-Mayadeen, Syrian sources announced that Jolani plans to hand over the Uyghur fighters to Beijing.

A Syrian military source announced that Syria is seeking to hand over Uighur fighters to China.

No further details have been released.

Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the Uyghurs have gained a more visible presence in Damascus, but their future in Syria is uncertain and may be an obstacle for a new government in Syria that is trying to convince world powers that it has the ability to control foreign fighters and prevent cross-border threats.

Uyghurs live in Idlib, or in neighborhoods near the city of Jisr al-Shughur. The Uyghurs, whom many Syrians call “Turkestani,” have opened schools, gas stations, and restaurants.

In local bakeries, Uyghurs bake traditional round and thick breads, which some of their Syrian neighbors have also become interested in. The vast majority of them do not have passports, but they have ID cards, and hundreds of them are enrolled in Idlib University; Where the interim government has announced that Uyghurs, like Syrians, can study for free.

The interim government of Syria has included them in its official military structure, which is a sign of the role of Uyghur fighters in overthrowing Bashar al-Assad’s regime; A war which, according to Uyghur leaders, has left about 11,000 dead among them.

All in all, the presence of Hizb-i-Islami Turkestan in Syria can have serious consequences for the future of Damascus and its efforts to cancel international sanctions.
