For its part, Jordan noted that more than 22,000 people have entered Syria through its territory, 3,100 of whom were registered refugees. Tweet URL

UNHCR teams noticed a shift in demographics of returnees from Jordan this week, with more women and children returning rather than men travelling alone.

“When interviewed, some families reported that the head of household would stay in Jordan for several more months in order to earn money that will support the family’s re-integration inside Syria before joining them,” the agency said.

Ahh yes. Your personal account is evidence. And only the people you know have the evidence. And since you have “friends” that are Uyghurs, clearly you must be an authority on the matter.

Having been to Xinjiang, without being paid by the government, and having Muslim non-ISIS friends, I’ve heard accounts of family members being forced into re-education camps, many of whom never return—which means dead.

So, while they might be winning the “war on terror,” it’s not because they haven’t killed anyone, it’s because they refuse to talk about it.

People in China are so fearful of their government that they won’t speak out about what they are doing. Anyone who does ends up missing or dead.

You've never spoken to anyone in China, they talk shit about the government constantly, on WeChat.

Also if my anecdote isn't proof, guess what, by your standard there isn't a genocide.

Yeah on “WeChat” in private, but never publicly. Which proves my point.
