Yazidi Community: Canadian Staff and Yazidi Efforts

yazidi community: We intend to fully meet that commitment, Hussen told host Rosemary Barton, according to CBC. That is still on track and we will make sure that we communicate the ongoing nature of the meeting of that commitment in due course. In an interview with CBC News Network's Power & Politics, newly minted Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Ahmed Hussen said his government would soon provide a detailed update on its Yazidi efforts. The minister said he could not provide details now, because doing so could possibly endanger Canadian staff on the ground working with Yazidis. ISIS launched brutal attacks targeting the Yazidi community in August 2014. The Yazidis are a religious minority with a 6,000-year-old culture, and are based mainly in northern Iraq.
