US funding to the Uyghurs Separatist Movement in China
Ned : National Endowment for Democracy
The NED was recommended by Bill Casey, the Reagan's Director of the CIA, and founded by the Reagan Administration in the early 80's during the Reagan's presidency targeted to destabilize any "unfriendly-to-USA" regimes around the world. The first acting President of the NED, Allen Weinstein, commented to the Washington Post that, 'A lot of what we [the NED] do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.'
In the website of Ned, we can see a list of open information recording the US funding in the name of "Democracy" to the Uyghurs Movement in China :
