The WUNN is devoted to the current political, cultural and economic developments in Eastern Turkistan and to the Uyghurs related issues. Eastern Turkistan is a name used by the Uyghurs, the indigenous people of the territory. Eastern Turkistan is the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China at present.
Eastern Turkistan was colonized by the Manchu Empire in 1877, and was made its Xinjiang province in 1884. Two Eastern Turkistan Republics existed in Eastern Turkistan in 1933-1935 and 1944-1955. Xinjang Uyghur Autonomous Region was established by the communist Chinese government on October 1, 1955.
WUNN brings information on situation in Eastern Turkistan from the Uyghur and other sources to the attention of the international community.
