After toppling Syria's Bashar Al-Assad, Uyghur fighters warn Xi Jinping; say next stop China, vow to free East Turkistan

The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) which is a Uyghur militant group has pretty recently declared its extreme intention to extend its fight against the country China following its involvement in the Syrian civil war, reported The Telegraph.

According to The Telegraph, in a pretty recently released video in the month of December which eventually coincides with the collapse of the Syrian regime, the TIP fighters have issued a severe threat for Beijing while vowing to continue their jihad in cities like Urumchi, Aqsu and Kashgar in Xinjiang. The group has been reportedly active in Syria for over a decade while having fled Chinese oppression.

The recent propaganda efforts of Turkistan Islamic Party have actually showcased their military capabilities and involvement alongside other rebel factions against the forces of Bashar al-Assad, asserted The Telegraph. Their emir named Abd Haq al-Turkistani actually emphasized on their commitment to liberating East Turkistan from the oppressive Chinese control.

TIP actually portrays its struggle as part of a broader jihad for Muslim independence while highlighting grievances against the treatment of Uyghurs in China by the Chinese authorities which includes mass detentions and cultural suppression, noted The Telegraph.

While the threats of TIP against China eventually raise concerns about potential future attacks, at the same time, experts question the actual military capabilities and cohesion of the group. The military strength of China though poses a significant challenge to any organized resistance from TIP, which still remains primarily focused on its operations within Syria while maintaining a severe anti-China narrative.
