#1 Their future is quite clear. The Chinese intend to replace the Uighurs with Han Chinese. Demographic expansion to achieve ethnic cleansing.

And, to a great extent, the Chinese have already won, now that they are the majority in the province.

#3 Related to further understanding, copied this from another blog;
The Panthay Rebellion (known in Chinese as the Du Wenxiu Qiyi ?????, 18561873) was a separatist movement of the Hui people and Chinese Muslims, against the imperial Qing Dynasty in southwestern Yunnan Province, China, as part of a wave of Hui-led multi-ethnic unrest

Between 1648 and 1878, more than twelve million Hui and Uyghur Muslims were killed in ten unsuccessful uprisings against the Qing Dynasty.[1] The discrimination with which the Hui were treated by the Han and by the imperial administration was the cause of their rebellions. The Panthay Rebellion originated in a conflict between Han and Muslim tin miners in 1853, which degenerated into rebellion. In the following year, a massacre of Muslims was organized by the Qing officials responsible for suppressing the revolt. One of the leaders of the insurrection was Ma Dexin. Anxious to increase his own influence, Ma Dexin finally agreed to submit to the Qing in 1861.[2] He was succeeded by a man called Du Wenxiu (???; pinyin: Dù Wénxiù) (18231872), an ethnic Hui born in Yongcheng.

Starting from 1855 the Muslim majority of Yunnan had risen against the oppression to which they were subjected by the mandarins. They rose against the tyranny and extortion universally practiced by this official class, from which they were excluded. The mandarins had secretly urged mobs to attack the rich Panthays, provoked anti-Muslim riots, and instigated destruction of their mosques.[3] The religious hatred of the Panthays was thus aroused. The widespread Muslim desire to avenge insults to their religion led to a universal and well-planned rising.

Though largely forgotten, the bloody rebellion caused the death of up to a million people in Yunnan.[4] Many surviving Hui refugees escaped over the border to neighboring countries, Burma, Thailand and Laos, forming the basis of a minority Chinese Hui population in those nations
