China stop businesses with Afghanistan linked to Uyghurs


China has stopped yesterday, all Chinese banks from transactions to Afghanistan's banks up to one year, due to latest attack by Uyghurs, according to Reuters news agency.

The Chinese authorities has sent announcement to the Chinese banks, that they must stop all their businesses with Afghan banks.



Two sources from two banks in China, told Reuters, that the recent attack in China, which 31 people killed and 94 wounded in Urumqi, was behind the decision to stop dealings.

“This is mainly because of the Xinjiang problem,” the first source said.

“The training ground of East Turkestan forces is in Afghanistan.” 

Both sources declined to state the name of their banks, because they are not authorized to speak to media.



"Striving to cut East Turkitan Islamic Movment(ETIM) funding sources is one of the measures to combat them," the second source said.

In the Chinese state media, it always claim, that the ETIM is behind the attacks in East Turkistan, wherever its happen.

However, according to expert and analysts, the evidence for the existence of ETIM is little, not even mentioned the capability of largely hidden group to launch such attacks.

Mass crackdown


China has announced yesterday, that it will launch "one year crackdown" against "terrorism".

Thousands of Chinese troops poured from military barracks from different regions in China, to East Turkistan, the far north western region.

The scene is like the country is in a state of war.


Chinese army has announced, that the holidays will cancelled this year for the soldiers, and the checks across China, will stepped up, in trains, shops, government buildings, hospitals, especially Beijing, the capital city.

Police and military patrols are stepped up, in whole country, include Beijing.


The latest developments in the region, has created fear and panic among the Chinese ethnics there.

“We don’t know why there have been explosions, but we are definitely worried about personal safety,” said Luo Guiyou,  Chinese resident in East Turkistan.



Xinhua news agency, said Chinese authorities has arrest the fifth suspect of the Uyghurs attackers, and the other four, were dead from the bombing.

All the names published by the agency, shows they are Uyghurs.



Beijing is in risk of creating more violence, by launching heavy crackdown.

“In fact, groups like al-Qaida and others are now beginning to think that China could be a new oppressor of the Muslim world,” said Ahmad Hisham, a terrorism expert at Singapore Nanyang technical university.



Beijing claim, the Uyghur islamic groups, are linked to Al-Qaida, and other islamic groups, but there is little evidence to support it.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that these acts qualify as acts of terrorism,” said David Brophy, the Xinjiang historian. “But there’s still very little hard evidence that would allow us to describe a terrorist network or a terrorist organization operating in Xinjiang.”



Analysts said the ETIM group was active in the end of 1990's until 2003 when their leader killed by Pakistan raid, were he live.

There is another mysterious group called, Turkistan Islamic party(TIP), appear with videos in 2005, praising the attacks that happen in East Turkistan, without even claim who done it.




There is nothing suggest they have done any attacks, this even raise doubts on these groups.

Some even believe, the Chinese intelligence agency is behind such groups, to justify crackdown against Uyghurs.
