Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for again being here at our committee and really providing us with up-to-date information on migration flows.
Just for the record, I want to put out there that in August 2014 when the massacre was happening in northern Iraq, there were only three Yazidis brought in by the previous government, whereas under our government, under our leadership, there were over 1,200 Yazidi women and girls who were subject to this violence and other minorities in northern Iraq who were brought in. I just want to put that on the record.
You spoke in your testimony about solutions, and you talked about four million who were returned to their country of origin. How do you determine when a country is safe? For example, in South Sudan, the former vice-president—I believe his name is Machar—and the president, Salva Kiir, recently talked about a peace agreement, and they formed a peace agreement not too long ago. When does the UN determine that it is safe to return to that country when the country has returned to stability in all aspects of the country to ensure that citizens can be there in a safe manner?
