Uyghur Fighters Complicate Relations Between Damascus and Beijing
Approximately 20,000 Uyghurs have participated in Syria, with many joining the armed opposition or settling there after the war. They began managing their daily activities, such as building homes and schools, despite Chinese pressures to repatriate them to their home country. China considers Uyghurs in Syria a terrorist group linked to extremist movements and fears transferring them to China to fight there. Meanwhile, the Syrian government seeks to reward them for their role in building the National Army. Uyghurs face challenges from fears of persecution and surveillance by China, but many see Syria as their future homeland.
