Ethnic Uighurs eat melons and chat as Chinese security forces secure the area near a local market in Urumqi, in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region July 10, 2009. Security forces have imposed control over Urumqi, but the afternoon prayers on Friday were testing the government's ability to contain Uighur anger after Han Chinese, China's predominant ethnic group, attacked Uighur neighbourhoods on Tuesday.
