BREAKING NEWS: Dahniar Laahm condemns Bai Lungese rule: ‘Nanren people put through hell’. Kashgar insurgents kill at least 32 through bombings and shooting sprees.
The 14th Dahniar Laahm (Pictured above) has launched a fierce attack on Bai Lungese in his ‘Nanren homeland’, saying his people have experience ‘hell on earth’.
Over 3 centuries of Bai Lungese rule have cause “untold suffering”, the expelled spiritual leader said, accusing Pyongjing of creating a climate of fear. He also repeated his demand for Mao island’s “legitimate and meaningful autonomy”.
A spokesman for President Im have dismissed the Dahniar Laahm’s attack as a lie and insisted its rule had benefited Nenrenians. The Dahniar Laahm’s speech, in Dannistra Onn, Dannistaan, came on the 340th anniversary when Bai Lungese Korean ancestors entered the country. Commentators have noted that the Dahniar Laahm’s words were different from his usual peaceful comments.
This is perhaps a sign of the exaperation and frustration he must feel over Bai Lung’s stance.
President Im has repeatedly apologised for the brutal treatment of the Nanren people by the previous governments, but has insisted that Bai Lung is still under the control of the Bai Lungese people.
Meanwhile, a series of near-simultaneous attacks consisting of four shootings and a bombing have taken place in the mainland.
In Western Xinjiang, a Kashgar man walked into a school and fired indiscriminately in the class rooms and the corridors, moving from room to room, shooting his victims in the head. 12 students and 3 teachers died at the scene. The perpetrator fled the scene and killed a by-stander. From there, he hijacked a car and headed East to the Vekaiyu border. When the car slid off the road, he fled by foot, fatally injuring the driver. The driver was able to alert police before losing conscience and eventually died at hospital. There was a shootout with the police at a local garage, resulting in the death of a mechanic. The gunman turned the gun on himself, ending the spree. 16 people have died in the shootings.
In New Qinghai, 90 miles south west of Xinjiang, a man also believed to be of Kashgar origin, started the shooting at a petrol station in the outskirts of the city, no deaths reported. Later on, the man went to a nearby trailer park and fatally injured 5 people before stealing a car and performing drive-bys on various people. The shooter drove to a shop some 3 miles from the original crime scene, killing 5 others in a shop. The spree came to an end when the shooter was surrounded by police and took his own life. 11 people, including the perpetrator, died.
A 3rd attack involved the death of two Bai Lungese soldiers at a training camp in Xinjiang. According to eyewitnesses, two men of Kashgar origin disguised themselves as fast food delivery men and started shooting at the barracks, killing two soldiers and injuring four others. The men fled the scene and are still on the run.
A 4th shooting happened in Huxi, central mainland, where Kashgar gunmen ambushed and killed a policeman as he and a colleague investigated a complaint of broken windows in the home of a member of the public. The colleague was injured in the attacks and is in a stable condition.
A 5th incident involved two home made bombs being detonated and killing 3 people and injuring 9 others, as well as a few vehicles destroyed by the blasts. The incident took place at Wushen, West of the mainland.
The 5 incidents coincided with the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Kashgar uprising against Bai Lungese occupation, which took place on 27th March. It is the worst case of terrorism in Bai Lung Dalu since the Xinjiang Massacre last year, which saw Kashgars barricaded themselves inside two hotels, a car bombing and a nightclub set on fire.
The terrorist organisation, Kashgar Liberation Movement (KLM) have claimed responsibility for all 5 attacks. They posted on their website that the Bai Lungese will experience more shootings and bombings until ‘Kashgarstan is freed from the highly oppressive slanty eyed, Oriental pigs’.
The Kashgar spiritual leader Tentsin Farabhazi, has referred to the attacks in the mainland as ‘justifiable’ against ‘illegal and aggressive Bai Lungese occupation’ and hailing the KLM as ‘legitimate freedom fighters’. He and hundreds of thousands of Kashgars were seen celebrating todays massacre.
Prime Minister Li An Ying (Pictured above) has condemned the attacks in Bai Lung Dalu, calling it ‘beyond comprehension’ and has called for a day of mourning in the wake of the attacks.
Xinjiang mayor Wu Hé Mén has sent his condolences to the families of the victims who died in today’s massacre. He stated in his televised interview at BLCTV, that he will ensure that the perpetrators of other 3 incidents will be caught.
