中国政府说，安全部队在西部新疆地区省会7月5日发生的致命骚乱中开枪打死了12名维吾尔族人。新疆维吾尔自治区主席努尔.白克力告诉记者，有3名维吾尔族人当场死亡，另外9名或在被送往医院的途中死亡，或在医院不治身亡。类似这样的承认在中国官员中是少见的。
官方媒体星期天引用了白克力的话说，采取这样的步骤是为了防止进一步的流血冲突。他说，在任何法治的国家，动用武力对于保护人民的利益或防止暴力犯罪都是必要的。中国官员早先说，总共有197人死于这场维吾尔族穆斯林与汉族人之间的民族冲突引发的乌鲁木齐暴力事件。还有超过1600人在事件中受伤。当局没有公布死者按民族分类后的数据，但他们说大部分的死者是汉族人。
维吾尔族活动人士对官方数字表示争议，说有数百人死于冲突，其中大多数是维吾尔族人。

乌鲁木齐汉人与维族人斗械,冲突升级
自五日晚发生维族人流血骚乱后，汉人与维吾尔人冲突再度升高。在骚乱后，乌鲁木齐人民广场附近有数百汉人携带棍棒、铲子和其他工具向维族人展开报复。警方向示威群众发射催泪弹驱众，但示威者并未因此而离开。
自流血骚乱，打死打伤汉人后，不满和仇恨的情绪在汉人族群中酝酿，听闻维族人上街抗议的消息后，汉人反维族的情绪，终于在下午爆发。今天下午已有上千名年轻汉族男子集体手持木棍、铁棍向维族人展开报復。
乌鲁木齐多个地点都传出汉人持械出动的消息，联合网记者在人民广场旁就亲眼目睹一队汉族年轻男子，手拿著木棍、锄头柄、角钢等，一大批人走向维族居住区。目前汉族维族械斗事态仍在发展中，伤亡不明。
7月5号，新疆维吾尔族地区爆发多年来最为严重的流血暴力冲突。对此，有评论认为，中国官方将骚乱与冲突的根源都指责为境内外别有居心者的预谋组织，只是传统的老调重弹而已。少数民族群体的示威活动能够迅速演变成为暴力对抗和流血冲突，并且同时在多处地点引爆，恰恰说明新疆地区长期存在着难以化解的民族矛盾，少数民族的积怨甚重。互联网上也有网友留言说，是警察先出手镇压，才激发了示威群众的暴力回应。
除了“统独”的意识形态纠葛以外，汉族人口的迅猛增加，维汉两族的经济条件与就业机会严重不平等的现状，也让维族人感觉到来自汉族的威胁。报道又说，1990年以后，新疆地区的发展吸引了大量内地的汉族经济移民，汉族分布区从北疆的乌鲁木齐、石河子等地区向南不断扩展。有数据显示，在过去的15年里，汉族人口的比例稳步增长，在新疆的2000万人口中，汉人占到了将近四成，并且已经超过了维族。甚至在首府乌鲁木齐，所有的少数民族加起来只占到总人口的24%左右，成了名副其实的“少数民族”。
报道引述西方的疆独同情者指出，所谓新疆的“和平稳定” ，其实只是在官方的铁腕“严打”之下勉强维持的一种表面现象而已。另据国际人权观察组织的报告，2001年在当地监狱里服刑的维族人中，有高达9.2%，超过1000人是因为国家安全罪名被捕入狱的。此外，近三. 四年来，新疆政府在全区推广双语小学，也被部分维族人视为“汉化威胁”加剧的证明。此外，也有不少新疆人认为，汉人无偿“掠取”新疆的石油和天然气资源，并将其源源不断地送往上海等沿海发达地区。

Will Xinjiang become another Tibet in 2009?
As I was hearing reports Sunday of rioting by Uighurs in northwestern China, I immediately thought of what a Chinese Public Security Bureau official told me on more than one occasion since late last year: We are much more worried about unrest in 2009 than in 2008.
That was an astonishing declaration coming from a security apparatus that was clearly blindsided by the March 2008 riots in Tibet that threatened to mar the Beijing Olympics. But it was a prescient one. The global downturn has only exacerbated the seething economic and social resentments of China's ethnic minorities, and perhaps no minority seethes more at perceived mistreatment by the majority Han Chinese than the mostly Muslim Uighurs of the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang.
Sunday's protest by as many as 1,000 Uighurs reportedly traces back to a brawl in a Guangdong Province toy factory late last month that resulted in the deaths of at least two young Uighur men. State media reported that a disgruntled, unemployed worker had started a false rumor online that six males from Xinjiang had sexually assaulted two girls at the factory.
Uighurs have been on the wrong end of violence previously in Guangdong, where migrants from many regions converge looking for work. In Xinjiang, Uighurs have seen Han Chinese move in and win the better jobs. They have endured government crackdowns supposedly intended to eradicate a violent Uighur separatist threat that human rights groups say is a gross exaggeration and a pretext for discrimination.
But this year, as factory jobs grow scarce, ethnic tensions may spark more protests like Sunday's, and make China's leaders even more nervous. That's one reason why China is so keen on achieving 8% growth and propping up its export sector. The stakes are even higher this year because this Oct.1 is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic; Communist Party leaders are both planning a major celebration and working hard to keep anyone from spoiling it.
Will they succeed? The Public Security Bureau could do little but look on as a factory melee apparently became a spark for protest. The reportedly tough response of security forces in Urumqi Sunday may have put an end to this episode, or it may provoke dangerous escalation. The Chinese leaders themselves must at least be wondering if restive Xinjiang could become the Tibet of 2009.

乌鲁木齐骚乱最新消息
新疆首府乌鲁木齐发生大规模骚乱，引起国际社会的严重关注。中国当局目前公布的骚乱死亡人数156人，受伤人数1080人。官方新华社还报道说，当局出动军警平乱，逮捕了700多人。这是继去年3月拉萨骚乱以来，中国边疆省份爆发的最严重事态。
由于当地通讯中断，当局禁止记者进入骚乱地区采访报道，死者身份及警方干预过程均无详细报道，国际媒体目前除了以“种族骚乱”报道这一事件外，大多在报道中保持审慎。但联合国以以及许多国家都对新疆骚乱造成大量伤亡表示遗憾，并呼吁中国政府及冲突各方保持克制，通过对话和平解决争端。
这次乌鲁木齐大规模骚乱，是上周日傍晚开始发生的。在中国官方目前公布的死者156人中，男性129人，女性27人；当局没有说明死者的民族身份。官方指称这次骚乱是“境外势力煽动的”，中国官方媒体亦将这一事件说成是“以热比亚为首的世界维吾尔大会指挥下进行的打砸抢骚乱事件”。但总部设在德国慕尼黑的世界维吾尔人大会一名负责人指责“中国军警向示威者开枪”，并说已有数百名维吾尔族人遭到逮捕。
