Thank you very much, Canadian government, for giving us all this help, and also, thank you for letting me express my problems. I really thank you.
I was under arrest by ISIS for two years. I was at the point of committing suicide. My kids were there with me but I couldn't do anything for them because I was sold easily more than 10 times. All I want from the Canadian government and from the authorities is their help in getting our people released, freed from ISIS.
I am one of them and there are lots of people like me, and some of them even have a worse situation. Our honour...we shouldn't let my honour be on their hands. Also, my 10-year-old daughter got married to a terrorist in front of my eyes. Who could accept their own kids being married to somebody at that age?
Eight members of my family plus my daughter are all in the hands of ISIS. Nobody could help us and we have no information about what happened to them.
I'm really thankful and grateful. I just wish and hope you guys help Yazidi people. Also, I'm thankful for the Canadian government helping our people. I spent two years under arrest and I saw too many things happen. I am not really happy here because my mom and my daughter are not here. I'm always crying and thinking about them. I'm not comfortable here. I hope you do something to find the mass graves; the young women and girls are all being killed and buried. We should find all these bodies and let the families know. This all has happened to our Yazidis. It's been 80 times we've been massacred by those people.
In 2017, Daesh did an explosion in the area of the Yazidis. They tried to massacre and kill all the Yazidis. They killed my dad. They killed my uncle. My brother was wounded. Five members of my family in one hour were all gone. This all happened to my family. It's not once or twice, it's too many times this has happened to us. I'm begging and I hope you guys will be helpful for us and try some kinds of ways to release our people.
When I came to Canada, I had no information about Canada. I didn't know any English. My brother was with me. I went to the hotel. I was in the hotel for two months. It was a very hard time for me, because I had trauma and I was still kind of afraid and scared. There were no Yazidis to help me or any other people. There was no one to help us.
After a month in this situation, we didn't know what to do. We didn't know where to go. There were two Yazidi people by the name of Hayder and Ismail. They came and they helped us a lot. They rented a house for us. We didn't even know how to rent a house.
It has been five months that we've been in Canada and still we are refugees here, so we expect the Canadian government to help us.
