The East Turkistan Government in Exile[a] (abbreviated as ETGE or ETGIE[1]), also known as 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]
Although the East Turkistan Government in Exile was declared inside Room HC-6 of the U.S. Capitol Building,[1] the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the territory it claims under East Turkistan 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 East Turkistan Government in Exile 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 demands 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
