Exclaves of Kunyu are located within the county.
History
[edit]In the Late Qing dynasty, the area that would become Karakax County was divided into four ming (明) (Mandarin Chinese Hanyu Pinyin-derived names): Hayashi (哈雅什明), Buhua (布華明), Makuiya (馬奎牙明), and Kuiya (奎牙明). On the eve of the creation of the county, the area was divided into six ming (明): Zhawa (扎瓦明), Ying'ai (英愛明) (also known as Tahe (塔合明)), Balamusu (巴拉木蘇明), Kuiya (奎牙明), Makuiya (馬奎牙明), and Ka'ersai (喀爾賽明).[9]
In 1919, the county was split off from Hotan County.[2][10]
In October 1984, the people's communes in the county were replaced with towns and townships.[11]
In 2012, Zawa (Zhawa) was changed from a township into a town.[1][11]
In 2013, Kuya (Kuiya) was changed from a township into a town.[1][11]
On February 13, 2014, Qarasaz (Ka'ersai) was changed from a township into a town.[1][11]
On the morning of June 20, 2014, five police officers at a security checkpoint in Kayash village in Manglay township were found dead killed by unknown assailants. The security checkpoint, known as a place where women wearing headscarves and men wearing beards would be interrogated, was razed to the ground.[12]
At 3 AM on July 19, 2014, the day after a raid at a local mosque, Zeynep Memtimin, wife of party secretary Rejep Islam, was killed by unknown assailants in an attack at their home. Islam was severely injured and left for dead, but survived.[13]
In December 2016, the Communist Party office in Karakax County was reportedly attacked by assailants using knives and improvised explosive devices, leading to the deaths of two government employees and three assailants.[14][15][16]
In 2017, the county was divided between four and later five main district area committees (大片区管委会).[11]
In May 2017, Abduheber Ahmet, the imam of the Dongbagh Mosque in Urchi township, was arrested for bringing his son to an underground religious school on one occasion several years before the arrest. Because Ahmet admitted that the events took place, Ahmet was sentenced to five and a half years in prison instead of seven years.[17]
In February 2020 dissidents leaked the hacked records of 311 detained Uyghurs from a single neighborhood in Karakax County.[18]
Geography
