Mukhametzhar-haji (R), an Uighur warden of a mosque, talks to his followers in the mosque in Almaty July 15, 2009. As clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese erupted in July in the Xinjiang capital Urumqi - just a days' drive from Almaty - many of Kazakhstan's 300,000 Uighurs found themselves torn between anger and despair for their kinfolk across the border.
