    Honar was distributing chocolates today to celebrate his mother's return. An earlier interview with him (done at the request of his uncle, wishing to bring attention to his plight)

    Harrowing content is a staple when covering the Yazidi genocide,,but this story was one of the most stressful for the team. 8 year old Honar details how he was trained to plant IEDs. He witnessed beheadings and executions.
