Chinese Uyghur studying in Wahhabi/Deobandi seminaries are lured to join Daesh in Syria and Iraq and so far 5000 have joined takfiri terrorist Daesh group in Syria and Iraq and this is alarming for Pakistan and Afghanistan, let alone China.

Uyghur lives in the parts of China that is situated on the borders with Pakistan and Tajikistan and near to Afghanistan. Their entry into Daesh poses serious threat to Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asian countries also.
Recently, Uyghur have released video clips in which they announced their strength. Most of them study in seminaries in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Turkey and remain connected with the Uyghur of Urumqi, Xinjiang (China) trough social media. Ethnically they are Turks. They say that they had to leave China due to oppression by Chinese authorities.
Abu Ubaidullah al Seeni (Cheeni) commands them in Raqqa, Syria. They vow in their video clips that they want freedom of their homeland from China.
Arab media reported that Syrian and Chinese governments remain in contact on the issue of Uygur and exchange information about them.
Analysts say that they also pose threat to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor because it passes through Uyghur’s areas.
