Original: The Uyghurs Who Fought in Syria’s Civil War
Uyghur fighters took part in Syria's civil war, joining armed groups on the battlefield over more than a decade of conflict. Their presence drew attention to how a far-from-home conflict became entangled with the cause of China's Turkic Muslim minority.

Why now: Renewed attention to Syria's conflict is reviving discussion of foreign fighters, including Uyghurs, and their future role.
