Yazidi Children: Meeting and Hesso

yazidi children: Emad was reunited with his family in Winnipeg last year after a relative saw his picture, taken in a refugee camp, on social media, according to National Observer. Hesso says they'd hoped for a much longer meeting with Trudeau, so Emad could talk more about the plight of other Yazidi children and bringing more refugees to Canada. Hadji Hesso says when Emad arrived at the venue with his uncle, political staffers approached him and brought him to a dressing room, where he met Trudeau for about five minutes. It was not the meeting that we were looking for, said Hesso, who is a spokesman for the family. We requested a further meeting, another meeting, to discuss more details if possible in Ottawa but nothing has been confirmed yet. But hopefully this is just the beginning.
