Why is it so important not to forget the "February 5 Yield Massacre"?

February 5, 1997 marks the 25th anniversary of the bloody repression of Yining youth in protest of the Chinese government's religious and ethnic discrimination against the Uyghurs, such as unemployment, family planning, and injustice. But eyewitnesses and political activists believe that the Chinese government is avoiding responsibility for the massacre of Yining youth. So, what is the significance of the February 5 Yildiz incident in the history of the Uyghur struggle? How important is it for the younger generation to be aware of the February 5 Yildiz massacre? Mr. Mehmet Tokhti, a senior Uyghur political activist, and Mr. Ghair Qurban, a spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress in Canada, shared their views on the issue.

Representatives of Ahmetcan Kasim and East Turkestan in the eyes of Chinese spies and nobles from 1947-1946

From November 14, 1946 to January 11, 1947, East Turkestan delegates to the Chinese Constitutional People's Congress, led by Ahmetcan Kasım, visited some cities other than the Chinese capital, Nanjing, and returned to Urumqi on January 14.

During the congress, the Chinese called them "representatives of Xinjiang," but they called themselves "representatives of East Turkestan."

Representatives of East Turkestan, mainly Ahmetcan Kasim, Isa Aliptekin, Abdukerim Abbasov, Ziya Samadi, Abdulakhat Mahsum, Anwar Salijan (Kazakh), Karim Haji (Tungan), Mehsut Teyipov, Hamit Sultan, Ertuغrul Sabiri, among others. Representatives from the East Turkestan Republic joined the coalition government. There were also representatives of Chinese, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Xibe from seven provinces, for a total of 18 people. The congressional hearing about that were exactly where the Uyghur delegates came from. However, in the end, some Kazakh, Chinese, Xibe, and Kyrgyz delegates, such as Hadiwang, Jiao Jianfeng, Mu Jingga, and Madambek, initially signed and then withdrew, followed by opposition from Zhang Kaishi, Zhang Zhijong, Bai Chongxi (Tungan), Shao Lizi, and others. The bill was rejected by the congressional hearing about that, and the congressional hearing about that were exactly where the congressional hearing about that were coming from. Chinese spy agencies and spies in Nanjing, meanwhile, have been collecting information and sending information to Ahmetcan Kasim and other East Turkestan, i.e., all the words and deeds of the “Xinjiang representatives” on their behalf, and gathering information and sending it to the central government.

When the East Turkestan representatives saw that their designs and demands were not accepted and even given a concession, they took a negative stance on the congress and resorted to non-participation.

In his last interview with China's Nanjing newspaper on December 24, Ahmetcan Kasım boldly slammed China's national policy, as well as his firm stance on renaming "East Turkistan", not "14 nationalities in Xinjiang" but ethnic Turks, Chinese, He stated that there were four main ethnic groups, the Mongols and the White Russians, which accounted for more than 85% of the population, including the Uyghurs, and that the Uyghurs were one of the Turkic peoples.

Recently, the Taiwanese government has begun leaking some of the secret archives of the Chinese Kuomintang government at that time, including the leaders of the then East Turkestan revolution, Ahmetcan Kasim, as well as China's policies toward them and many other issues. Mr. Taran Uyghur, who is working on translating some of those Taiwanese archives from Chinese to Uyghur, believes that Chinese spy agencies have always considered Ahmetcan Kasim as the "most dangerous" and the most "capable politician" for the Chinese state, and have gathered information about his actions. ؛

In all his activities, speeches, and secret gatherings about Ahmetcan Kasım's activities in Nanjing, the Chinese intelligence service concluded that his goal was to "make Xinjiang independent" and "establish the Republic of East Turkestan."

According to archival information provided by Mr. Taran Uyghur. “He is a very good cadre with ties to the Soviet Union, whose main purpose is to make Xinjiang independent of China and annex it to the Soviet Union,” the Kuomintang Intelligence Agency’s document No. 39 of the Congress Intelligence Agency said. His speeches inside and outside the People's Congress are also very strange. " The secret document also states that Ahmetcan Kasım said internally: That is why he is our real enemy. Therefore, anyone who agrees with Wu Zhongxin in his words and deeds is an enemy of the East Turkestan nation. Today we are in the midst of the enemy's influence, and we have come to this meeting for a very critical issue, namely the attainment of the national independence of East Turkestan. Therefore, the words and deeds and initiatives of each representative must be consistent. "

In addition, after the rejection of the draft proposal by Ahmetcan Kasım, the Chinese intelligence service sent information about the actions of Ahmetcan and his East Turkestan representatives, which he initiated: Waited. It is no longer possible for us to fulfill our demands for self-determination and independence, which we presented to the Congress. Since then, the success of the East Turkestan movement has been entirely dependent on our own struggles. We only have hope for the future when we return to Xinjiang as soon as possible and strengthen our independence movement. "

The Chinese intelligence service also said in a confidential intelligence report that "Ahmetcan's statement on the issue of Xinjiang" states: In that sense, it is possible we had to do something about it, and then we would have to do something about it. "

In the meantime, Chinese leaders, including Zhang Kaishi, met and paid tribute to him, because in their eyes he was not only a very capable and talented politician, but also a "leader of the East Turkestan movement" and a "leader of the rebels in Xinjiang."

This means that the respect shown by Zhang Kaishi and other senior Chinese leaders to Ahmetcan Kasım was a complete deception, a deception, a softening tactic, which was an attempt to prevent them from "initiating and strengthening the East Turkestan independence movement after Ahmetcan's return to Xinjiang."
