My family and I are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic death of the former Prime Minister of Japan ,Shinzo Abe
\nShinzo Abe was a leader who encouraged me to visit Japan many times to give 100+ speeches in more than 30 cities.\u00a0He was a sharp-witted statesman who understood the criticality\u00a0\u00a0of the Uyghur situation long before the Uyghur Genocide openly began. In fact, he predicted that it would happen.\u00a0He mentioned the Uyghur issue in a meeting with former Chinese President Hu Jintao\u00a0in 2008, when the Uyghur situation was not internationally known. He also expressed concern about the Uyghur situation when he met with bloodthirsty Xi Jinping in 2019.\u00a0Unfortunately, even then, Xi Jinping knew no bounds in violence and felt incomparable in power.
\nWith the support of Shinzo Abe, Japan became one of the most important overseas bases for the East Turkestan independence struggle, and he became a friend of Uyghur activists. Siding with the world\u2019s most oppressed nation requires a strong sense of justice from a country\u2019s leader. It also takes\u00a0great courage to speak out against one of the world\u2019s most violent national leaders\u2014Xi Jinping\u2014and recount his mistakes to his face. Shinzo Abe cultivated these qualities in himself and contributed not only to the prosperity of Japan but also to worldwide peace.
\nThe world needs more intelligent and courageous statesmen like Shinzo Abe if it is to become more beautiful,\u00a0prosperous, peaceful, and just. His death is a loss not only for the Japanese people but also for the oppressed\u00a0Uyghur people. There is now a huge void in the fight for peace and justice. I\u00a0would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to the Japanese people and Shinzo Abe\u2019s family.
\nFinally, I would like to wish for the birth and growth of thousands of Shinzo Abyssinians in Japan.
