Urumqi – a cursed city of north-west region of Xijiang China, it 
shares with Tibet a history of mischievous control from Beijing and misfortune of Chinese regime as strategic buffer state with its sister cities.
Its sister cities are Peshawar, Bishek, Almaty and Chelyabinsk. Two cities of Kyrgyzstan and one from Russia and Pakistan.
There were two short lived independents “East Turkestan” republics in the 1930’s and 1940’s, the second under strong soviet influence. After Chinese communist victory, a large wave of Han Chinese entered in this region. Now, its population contains 40 % Han Chinese with 47 % Uyghurs of Urumqi.
On 5th July 2009, two Uyghurs killed by Han workers in Shaogan, Guangdog – a factory, which caused a massive violence of decades with the Chinese security forces, on 7th of July 2009.
This violence began after a protest by Uyghurs, demanding a complete investigation of the 5th July’s incident. Total causalities in this unrest reached more than 1,000 injured and 156 dead, with a majority of Han Chinese. In addendum, more than 261 motor vehicles burned and more than 200 shops destroyed, reported official news agency.
This unrest was a part of an ongoing ethnic conflict between Han Chinese and Muslim Uyghurs, which over boiled after demanding of Ughurs killing investigation. Chinese official said these riots were “instigated and directed from abroad” and carried out by external forces supporting Uyghurs independence led by exiled Uyghurs leader Rebiya Kadeer.
“Rebiya Kadeer had phone conversation with people in China on 5th July in order to incite and ……..websites were used to orchestrate the incitement and spread propaganda”, Xinjiang’s governer, Nur Bekri, said in a televised address.
Rebiya Kadeer, a business woman and political activist, born into poverty and was detained in August 1999, alleging to be in possession of a list of 10 people, suspected of having a connection with national separatist activities. Kadeer drew parallels between the treated of Tibet and East Turkestan, as many Uyghurs call their homeland “It is a common practice of the Chinese government to accuse me for any unrest in East Turkestan and his holiness the Dalai Lama for any unrest in Tibet” she said.
Kadeer was detained by Chinese authorities in 1997, on charges of “leaking states secrets”. On 10th March 2000, convicted in the Urumqi Intermediate People’s Court of “endaging state security”. On 14th March 2005, Kadeer was released on medical grounds, to United States custody. The US had pressurized for her release and the action came in advance of a visit of US States Secretary, Condoleza Rice.
Keeping in view, China’s shouting about interruption from external forces and supporting of Uyghurs then reversal of old scenes, it is not regrettable some concealed relations between Kadeer and United States. Urumqi is also sharing 02 borders with Kyrgyzstan and 01 with Russia. Recently, Kyrgyzstan approves new U.S air bases agreement and another chapter of newly borned friendship of Russia and US has also started with the visit of Obama to Russia.
These all beeps are indicating and alarming another Waziristan, approaching in near future in China as United States petrifaction with China’s economical stability and balanced power with United States. Same like Waziristan, a buffer state between Pakistan and Afghanistan, China has Urumqi. Anarchy is already installed in this region, if Chinese government did not cater it seriously. It is not far, another Waziristan will be there in Urumqi.
