The East Turkistan Government in Exile[a] (abbreviated as ETGE or ETGIE[1]), officially the Government in Exile of the Republic of East Turkistan,[b] is a political organization established and headquartered in Washington, D.C. by Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other peoples from East Turkistan (Xinjiang). The ETGE claims to be the sole legitimate organization and a parliamentary-based government in exile representing East Turkistan and its people on the international stage.[2][1]
The formation of the ETGE was declared inside Room HC-6 of the U.S. Capitol Building,[1] though the territories it claims are unrecognized by the United States.[3] The People's Republic of China has sternly opposed the East Turkistan Government in Exile since its creation in September 2004.[4]
The ETGE has been described by scholars as a prominent fringe Uyghur organization that advocates for radical methods driven by religious and ethnic motives.[5]: 5–7 [6][7][8]: 133 The organization is among several Uyghur groups that demand total independence in contrast to other organizations that advocate for more autonomy and democracy.[5]: 5 [7][8]: 133 It has been called the "most prominent Uyghur organization outside the WUC".[8]: 133
