Guest Opinion: Journey through Xinjiang -- unveiling the truth
تاريخ النشر : 2024-11-28 - 11:22 am In reality, Xinjiang's development stems from the Chinese government's policies that focus on enhancing infrastructure, accelerating economic growth, religious freedom, and education and training for ethnic minorities. by Fady Philip Nathan On my way to visit Emin County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, I was captivated by the breathtaking landscape. Lush greenery stretched across Xinjiang, with trees offering a soothing sense of comfort. The fruit trees lining the roadsides made me wish never to leave, thanks to the beauty of nature, the purity of the air, and the wonderful atmosphere. TRUTH-SEEKING TRIP The journey began with a trip to Chengdu in southwest China's Sichuan Province, where I joined an Arab media delegation for the 2024 Media Cooperation Forum on Belt and Road. I was particularly excited about the chance to visit Xinjiang and see the truth behind Western media reports about the Uygur people. What I witnessed there was completely different from what I had imagined and read in reports by Western media. From the moment we arrived in the old city of Kashgar, we were showered with welcome and hospitality. I had even planned to go on a diet during my visit to China, but the generosity of the citizens, their delicious cuisine, and the irresistible smell of kebabs everywhere made it impossible. When we visited Kashgar, I felt like I was living in the scenes of "One Thousand and One Nights." I imagined Sindbad peeking at us from the balconies of the houses and Aladdin running beside us, fleeing from Jafar's soldiers. The enjoyment increased with our visit to a popular cafe where we enjoyed traditional songs and dances. We visited the Comprehensive Management Memorial Hall for the Protection of the Old Town of Kashgar and learned about the living conditions of the Uygur people in the past, when many lived in old, rundown houses that offered little protection from snow and rain. The government developed the area into a modern city, preserving the traditional architectural style while significantly improving living conditions. We also paid a visit to the Id Kah Mosque and met the imam, who explained how the government renovated and maintained it, how it welcomes Muslims from around the world, and how it sends delegations to Egypt's Al-Azhar to study Islam. SECRETS TO GREAT CHANGES During our journey, we discovered the reasons for the abundant and happy life of the people in Xinjiang. We visited an animal breeding company, a safflower oil enterprise, and an agricultural company utilizing advanced techniques to concentrate UV rays on plants, reducing cultivation time and boosting yields. Companies in Xinjiang are actively working to improve living conditions for locals by creating job opportunities. By investing in modern agricultural and industrial projects, they generate thousands of jobs for residents. This approach not only enhances production efficiency but also offers valuable training and employment for the local community. During our visit to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum in Urumqi, we were impressed by the exhibits detailing the government's development plans for the region. The focus was on enhancing living standards and economic growth, with particular attention to ethnic minorities. These plans include the development of infrastructure through the construction and expansion of road networks, railways, and airports, facilitating mobility and enhancing trade. Additionally, healthcare and educational facilities have been improved, and new housing has been provided. To gear up growth, special economic zones and free trade areas have been established to attract foreign and local investments, alongside the modernization of the agriculture and industry sectors with state-of-the-art technologies. Many cultural and religious sites have been restored and renovated to preserve the region's heritage while promoting cultural tourism. These efforts have not only enhanced the landscape and improved living conditions but also stimulated economic development and preserved cultural and religious sites in the region. تابعو جهينة نيوز على

Imposing Sanctions for Dispossession and Violence in the West Bank
تاريخ النشر : 2024-11-18 - 09:27 pm *Imposing Sanctions for Dispossession and Violence in the West Bank* PRESS STATEMENT MATTHEW MILLER, DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON NOVEMBER 18, 2024 The United States is taking action today against three entities and three individuals for their roles in violence targeting civilians or in the destruction or dispossession of property. Their actions, collectively and individually, undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank and the safety of both Israelis and Palestinians. The Department of State is imposing sanctions on Eyal Hari Yehuda Company LTD, Itamar Yehuda Levi, Shabtai Koshlevsky, and Zohar Sabah. Eyal Hari Yehuda Company LTD provides vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs that have been used in construction activities resulting in the expansion of the physical boundaries of sanctioned entities, including the Meitarim Farm, previously designated by the United States. Itamar Yehuda Levi owns Eyal Hari Yehuda Company LTD and also provides material support to sanctioned entities. Shabtai Koshlevsky is the vice president, project coordinator, and co-founder of U.S.-designated non-profit organization Hashomer Yosh. Zohar Sabah has engaged in threats and acts of violence against Palestinians, including in their homes, and demonstrated a pattern of destructiveness in the West Bank. He was also implicated in the attack on the Al-Ka'abneh elementary school near Jericho in September 2024 which injured several Palestinians at the school. Concurrently, the Department of the Treasury is sanctioning Amana, the largest organization involved in settlement and illegal outpost development in the West Bank, and its subsidiary Binyanei Bar Amana Ltd. Amana has established dozens of illegal settler outposts and directly engaged in dispossession of private land owned by Palestinians in its support of settlers. We once again call on the Government of Israel to take action and hold accountable those responsible for or complicit in violence, forced displacement, and the dispossession of private land. The United States will continue to promote accountability for those who further destabilize conditions in the West Bank and support extremist violence in the region. Today's actions are being taken pursuant to Executive Order 14115. For more information about State's action, please see the Department of State's fact sheet. For more information on Treasury's action, see Treasury's press release. تابعو جهينة نيوز على
