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
