Erkin Alptekin, a Uyghur living in exile, is one of the main players and he has CIA links.
Erkin Alptekin moved to Munich in 1971, where he became "Senior Policy Advisor" to the director of the US station "Radio Liberty".
It was at that time that the CIA began to establish contacts to Uyghurs seeking secession.
"Some, like Erkin Alptekin, who have worked for the CIA's Radio Liberty, are - in the meantime - on the forefront of the secessionist movement" writes analyst B. Raman, the former Indian government's cabinet secretary.
In Munich, Alptekin founded the "East Turkestan Union in Europe" in 1991; and in April 2004 he founded the "World Uyghur Congress" and became its founding president.
'From German territory, the congress is steering numerous Uyghur exile organizations around the world, of which some must be classified as being in the terrorist milieu, according to Chinese government information.'
The Munich based exile movement seeks to merge the Uyghur secessionist movement with the Tibetan and the Mongolian movements.
It seeks to break up China.
In 1985, former CIA advisor Alptekin participated in the foundation of the "Allied Committee of the Peoples of East Turkestan, Tibet and Inner Mongolia".
Rebiya Kadeer is continuing Alptekin's activities - and is also receiving German-US American support.
Her husband works for Radio Free Asia, the Asian counterpart to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, also said to have close links to the CIA.
