Alaqagha,[3][4][5] Alakaga[6][7] (Uyghur: ئالاقاغا بازىرى[8][9][10] / Alahage; Chinese: 阿拉哈格镇) is a town in Kuqa, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.

Name

'Alaqagha' / 'Alakaga' is Uyghur for 'flower crow' (花乌鸦).[6][11][12] According to local understanding, crows/ravens of various colors used to visit the town frequently.[6]

History

In 1958, Alaqagha/Alakaga Commune (阿拉哈格公社) was established.[1]

In 1984, Alaqagha/Alakaga Commune became Alaqagha/Alakaga Township (阿拉哈格乡).[1]

Between 2000 and 2003, Alaqagha/Alakaga Township became Alaqagha/Alakaga Town (阿拉哈格镇).[1]

On May 20, 2014, after 4:30 pm, special armed police fired on Uyghur protesters and arrested more than 100. The protesters threatened to storm a government building in Alaqagha/Alakaga. According to a local official, police killed two (including Elqem Memtimin, 23) and injured five. The more than 1,000 Uyghur protesters were demanding the release of 25 Uyghur women and schoolgirls who had been detained for wearing headscarves. The protesters had beat the school principal, Tursun Qadir, and the head of the Alaqagha/Alakaga township government and thrown rocks at local government buildings. A round up of protesters continued into the night.[3][4][13] Later that year, a Washington Post team was detained in Alaqagha/Alakaga and ultimately deported from the region.[3] On April 29, 2015, Rebiya Kadeer, then President of the World Uyghur Congress, mentioned the town among areas with credible evidence of state violence that merited further investigation.[14][15]

Geography

Alaqagha/Alakaga is 26 km (16 mi) to the southwest of the Kuqa government seat.[6][11] The land is flat with the roads on a north–south orientation.[6] Alaqagha/Alakaga is located near the tripoint of Kuqa, Xayar County and Xinhe County (Toksu).[6]

Administrative divisions

Alaqagha/Alakaga includes twenty-five villages:[1][16][17]

Economy

Situated near the intersection of three county-level divisions, the town was traditionally an important market. The local economy is primarily agricultural combined with animal husbandry. Fish are raised in the eastern area including Kunasi. Many fruits are produced including the noted Pyrus nivalis of Qiangga Village, the white peaches of Kunasi Village and the muskmelons of Yingsa Village. The local specialty is smoked plum.[6]

As of 2019, Qiaokabositan Village was considered deeply economically impoverished.[32]
