Magniyaz Abdrimov (C), an Uighur resident of Almaty who was born in China in 1927, and his relatives look through photographs at his house 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.
