This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 54%. (I'm a bot)

A 12-year-old Yazidi boy has been reunited with his mother in Canada three years after being captured by the so-called Islamic State.

A campaign to bring the boy to Canada was launched after a relative alerted his mother, Nofa Mihlo Rafo, to a photo posted online of him after his rescue.

Ms Mihlo Rafo arrived in Canada this year as a refugee with four of her six children.

Ms Mihlo Rafo eventually managed to escape to a refugee camp with four of her children.

The Yazidi Association of Manitoba, the Kurdish Initiative for Refugees, Winnipeg Friends of Israel, and the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq, launched a campaign to reunite the boy with his family, putting pressure on federal politicians to expedite his case.

The Canadian government has committed to bringing up to 1,200 vulnerable Yazidi women and children and other survivors of IS to Canada.
