For the records, here is a NED official tweet mentioning they have been "funding Uyghur groups" since 2004:

Here is a video someone posted below the tweet -- of a guy discussing this shift in narrative (using this article, specifically). He makes the case that the *actual* cultural genocide occurred/was occurring when Salafism was injected into the region and supported by outside actors in the Western axis. I think the video is pretty good, and, among other things, he shows that NGO internal memos refer to the "concentration camps" as 'vocational centers' -> https://youtu.be/78s7yP2BdF0?t=0
Here is Lawrence Wilkerson spilling the beans also -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrufheMU-WQ&t=0s
Imagine writing this as your own country still imprisons Mexicans on the border.
Not only Mexicans! Haitians, Columbians, Guatamalans and more!!
Why am I not surprised?
I didn't look very carefully at the post, read "the barbed wire is coming down, the armored personnel carriers are almost gone..." and genuinely thought the post was going to be about how "look, Biden is improving things at the border!"
constant genocide of Native Americans for over 400 years is what I'm thinking about, but this too.
