Rahima Mahmut
First, I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations on the launch of Uyghur Post. This is a truly important moment for our people.
At a time when fake news spreads rapidly, when AI-driven misinformation is everywhere, and when Chinese state propaganda works tirelessly to hide the genocide, an independent Uyghur voice is absolutely essential.
Our language, our story, and our truth have all been targeted for erasure. By publishing in Uyghur, this platform will help keep our language alive for the next generation.
I want to honour the founders and the team behind Uyghur Post. You are dedicated, professional, and brave. Your commitment gives me real confidence that this platform will become a trusted source of truth.
Uyghur Post will play a vital role in countering disinformation, documenting our reality, and protecting our collective voice.
I wish you every success. May Uyghur Post continue to shine as a beacon of truth and resilience for many years to come.
With my deepest congratulations and support.
