The Turkic Khaganates, Uyghurs, China, and Turkic Kingdoms of Eastern Europe in the 7th Century In the 7th century, the Turkic Khaganates were powerful confederations across Central Asia. Among these groups were the Uyghurs, a significant Turkic people who would later rise to establish their own Khaganate. The Uyghurs, along with other Turkic groups, played a vital role in the power dynamics of the time, interacting with the Tang Dynasty in China through alliances and conflicts. Meanwhile, Turkic kingdoms such as the Khazars and Bulgars expanded into Eastern Europe, creating lasting political and cultural legacies. This era marked the increasing influence of Turkic peoples across a vast region, shaping trade, warfare, and political landscapes from China to Europe. #TurkicKhaganates #UyghurHistory #7thCenturyHistory #TangDynasty #EasternEurope #TurkicKingdoms #CentralAsiaHistory

OIC Secretary-General Calls for Exposing the Crimes of Genocide Committed by the Israeli Occupation and Prosecuting it legally H.E. Mr. #Hissein_Brahim_Taha, the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (#OIC), participated in the Extraordinary Session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers, which was held in #Istanbul, the Republic of #Türkiye, on 24 February 2024, under the theme “Media disinformation and attacks committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against journalists and media outlets in the occupied Palestinian territory”, in the presence of H. E. Prof. Fahrettin ALTUN, Director of Communication Department of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye and Ministers of Information and Communication as well as delegates of the OIC Member States. In his speech at the opening session, the Secretary-General affirmed that the horrific massacres witnessed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially the #Gaza Strip, embody a model of organized terrorism, violence, and a crime of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation without political, religious, humanitarian, or legal deterrence, and call for strengthening efforts and positions to expose these crimes and prosecute the Israeli occupation legally and hold it accountable. At the beginning of his speech, the Secretary-General expressed the OIC’s appreciation to the government and people of the Republic of Türkiye for holding this special session to discuss its theme, noting Türkiye’s pioneering role in supporting the Palestinian people and their legitimate national rights. Hissein Brahim Taha noted the results of the Extraordinary Joint Arab-Islamic Summit to discuss the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, which was held on November 11, 2023, in Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its resolution to establish a media monitoring unit in the General Secretariat, which the General Secretariat launched, to document and expose Israeli crimes and violations. He indicated that this confirms the special importance that the leaders of the Member States attach to the necessity of confronting the brutal Israeli occupation attacks on the Palestinian people and its continuing attacks against journalists and media institutions in the Palestinian territories, which led to the martyrdom of at least 126 #journalists since the beginning of the genocide crime currently taking place in the Gaza Strip, in the context of its policy aimed at confiscating the truth, silencing mouths, covering up its daily crimes, and preventing their delivery to world public opinion. The Secretary-General also called on all parties in charge of the media file in the Member States to enhance support and cooperation to develop the role of the media monitoring unit in the General Secretariat and to partner in sponsoring and organizing media activities to discuss document, and expose Israeli violations and crimes, and providing more necessary support to Palestinian media institutions in terms of infrastructure and equipment, producing and exchanging media programs and expertise with them, and allocating more media space in the media outlets of the Member States to cover all developments related to the Palestinian issue. Hissein Brahim Taha reiterated his emphasis on the support and solidarity of the OIC with the Palestinian people in their quest to restore their inalienable national rights, including their right to return, self-determination, and the embodiment of establishing their independent state on the Palestinian land occupied since 1967, with its capital, Al-Quds Ash-Sharif. The Senior Officials’ meeting preparatory for this extraordinary session was held earlier in the morning to discuss the Draft Agenda, Work Program, Report, and Final Communique to be submitted to the ministerial meeting of the session for approval.

Mostar Bosnia Mostar, a city in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, boasts a rich and complex history, shaped by diverse cultural influences and enduring through numerous periods of conflict and upheaval. Nestled along the Neretva River, Mostar has served as a crossroads for civilizations, fostering a unique blend of traditions and customs. Early Beginnings and Roman Rule The origins of Mostar can be traced back to the ancient Illyrian tribe of the Daorsi, who established a settlement in the area around the 6th century BC. Later, the Romans conquered the region, incorporating it into their vast empire. Roman rule brought with it infrastructure development, including the construction of roads and bridges, laying the foundation for Mostar's future importance as a transportation hub. Ottoman Era and Cultural Flourishing Under Ottoman rule, the city flourished as a commercial and cultural center, attracting people from diverse backgrounds. The construction of the iconic Stari Most (Old Bridge) in 1566 further cemented Mostar's position as a major trading post along the caravan routes. Austro-Hungarian Administration and Modernization In 1878, the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina brought about modernization efforts in Mostar, with the introduction of Western-style architecture, infrastructure development, and educational reforms. However, the city also experienced increased ethnic and religious tensions. World War I and Yugoslavia The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 triggered the outbreak of World War I, plunging Mostar into a period of instability. The city changed hands between various armies during the war, suffering significant damage and displacement of its population. After the war, Mostar became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, a period of relative stability and economic growth. The city continued to attract immigrants from various parts of Yugoslavia, further diversifying its cultural landscape. Siege of Mostar and the Bosnian War The collapse of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s unleashed a series of ethnic conflicts, including the Bosnian War. Mostar endured a brutal siege from 1992 to 1995. The city was divided along ethnic lines, with the Stari Most becoming a symbol of the division and destruction. Despite the hardships, the people of Mostar demonstrated remarkable resilience, preserving their cultural traditions and maintaining a sense of community amidst the siege. Post-War Reconstruction and Renewal The Dayton Agreement in 1995 brought an end to the Bosnian War, paving the way for reconstruction and reconciliation efforts in Mostar. The iconic Stari Most was painstakingly rebuilt, symbolizing the city's determination to heal and move forward. Today, Mostar stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its people. The city has made significant strides in rebuilding its infrastructure, revitalizing its economy, and promoting cultural diversity. While the scars of the past remain, Mostar has embraced its role as a beacon of hope and unity in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Victory in the Battle of Hattin was followed by a string of quick victories across the Kingdom of #Jerusalem , culminating on October 2, 1187, when the City of Jerusalem surrendered to Salah ud Din Ayubi's (aka #Saladin) forces after 88 years under Christian rule. The upcoming centuries brought new Islamic states but the Muslims managed to retain control of Al-Quds, the land of Jerusalem and first Qiblah, until the Allied army retook it from Ottomans in early 1900s during World War 1. Sultan Salah ud Din Ayubi Hazretleri belonged to Kurdish ethnicity. Still, he was no ethno nationalist but rather a firm Muslim leader who prioritised cause of Islam above all else. He has been deeply praised by Islamic and Western historians alike for his kind and merciful treatment of non-Muslim subjects. Important fact: Sultan Salah ud Din Ayubi and most of his troops were Sufis and disciples of Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani Al Hassani (The Venerable Scholar from Ahle Bayt or Prophetic Family). May Allah raise the ranks of Salah ud Din Ayubi Hazretleri (رحمه الله تعالی) Read our detailed thread with sources here:
