I cannot possibly know the exact reason, except that Mr. ElSouri is not Canadian. He is a Sudanese married to a Saudi woman of Saudi culture, whereas we are Canadian.
So, when he explained to Nathalie that it would be better for the children to be raised in Saudi Arabia… That was really a reflection of his own culture. He may also have had contact; a lot of information found its way to Saeed. Did he have personal contact with Mr. Al Shahrani? I do not know, but that is possible. I cannot be certain of that, however.
