Hey there, globe-trotters and news enthusiasts! 🌍 Ever wondered about the stories that shape our world but don't always hit your feed? Let's dive into one that's been under the radar but deserves a spotlight.
Back in 2009, on July 5th, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in China faced one of its most serious incidents. But what really went down? 🤔 A new documentary by CGTN titled \\"Darkness Over Urumqi\\" sheds light on the events that unfolded and the aftermath that rippled across continents.
According to the documentary, after the July 5th riots, the World Uyghur Congress (WUC) ramped up a disinformation campaign in international media. This campaign allegedly stirred up \\"East Turkistan\\" activists overseas, adding fuel to a complex situation. The film aims to peel back the layers and present the untold truths behind the incident.
