Khider Edo Izedin came to Australia in 2018 with his parents and sibilings. All members of his family, including him, were captured by ISIS when Sinjar was attacked in 2014 and released two years later. Despite the hardships that Khider has gone through, he has now been accepted in an Australian university where he wants to study and become a teacher to help his community. We talk to him about his settlement in Australia, university entry and the time he was captured by ISIS.
