Yazidi woman who won Nobel Prize pleads with Trump to help her people

Iraqi human rights activist Nadia Murad met with President Trump at the White House on Friday where she pleaded for the president to help her and others in her community return to their home country.

Murad, who won a Nobel Peace Prize last year after opening up about her story of surviving sexual assault while in ISIS captivity in 2014, told Trump that much of her family remains in jail because “when ISIS attack us, no one protect us.”

“I’m from Iraq and I cannot see my family,” she told the president in the Oval Office.

“After 2003, we started to disappear from our area, from our homeland. And then when ISIS attack us in 2014, they killed six of my brothers. They killed my mom,” she continued, recalling how she and her sisters and nieces were taken into captivity around the time.

“And today we have 3,000 Yazidi women and children in captivity. So although they said ISIS is defeated, but where is those 3,000 Yazidi?” she said. “And our home is destroyed.”

“My people cannot go back,” Murad said. “We are not million of people; we are only half-million people. And after 2014, about 95 years — 95,000 years, Yazidi, they immigrate to Germany through a very dangerous way. Not because we want to be a refugee, but we cannot find a safe place to live.”

“All this happened to me,” she continued. “They killed my mom, my six brother.”

“Where are they now?” Trump asked.

“They killed them,” Murad repeated. “They are in the mass graves in Sinjar. And I’m still fighting just to live in safe. Please do something. And it’s not about one family.”

“I know the area very well you’re talking about," Trump said, later adding: “We’ll continue very strong.”

Trump also asked Murad during the meeting about her experience being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year.

“They gave it to you for what reason?” Trump said.

“For what reason? For that — after all this happen to me, I can — I make it clear to everyone that ISIS raped thousands of Yazidi women,” she said. “This one was first time the woman from Iraq, she gave out and spoke about it happen.”

After speaking with Murad, Trump spoke with a number of other people who had also experienced religious persecution in their country, including a survivor of the Holocaust and a Tibetan woman from China, according to The Washington Post.

Watch the video. I had to turn up the volume to hear her. Sad.

"“They gave it to you for what reason?” Trump said."

Really he couldnt ask someone before hand that question ?
The guy is clueless

But he said he's a "stable genius"

So nobody told trump beforehand WHY a Nobel peace prize recipient was awarded one prior to the meeting?

Sounds like he asked that to give her a platform to state her cause.

Try this one shall we?

this is really the only take you got out of this gut wrenching meeting?

All of that, and still your only concern is Trump. SMH.

Do you not really think that maybe he asked that because the meeting was obviously being recorded and he wanted her to tell the world the reasoning? Nah, couldn't have been. GMAB

Come on now man.

what?

"where are they now" as in "where are their bodies". you guys really just look for anything huh?

We don't have to look for it. But you do have to translate it. Therein lies the problem.

They didn't get several of her words right, it wasn't 95,000 'years', it was 'Yirdzi'.(sp?)

And Trump asked her where her family, that she just told him were killed, was now...

Nah it was very sad. Trump did his best too, but damn he looked lost.

Iraqi human rights activist Nadia Murad met with President Trump at the White House on Friday where she pleaded for the president to help her and others in her community return to their home country.

Well it is refreshing to see a woman of color who actually wants to go back where she came from.

KKKlassy as ever.

He asked her that because he somehow believes he should receive one. A narcissist always thinking of themself over anybody else.

That works for you until you realize that you helped elect a moron who was too stupid to understand that three out of four of them come from The United States.

Meanwhile, back in the article.. what exactly is she asking Trump to do?

Iraq remains a dangerous place.. is she asking for the US to help the Iraqi government make it safer? I thought we have been doing that for over a decade..

Is she saying it is the Iraqi government that makes it dangerous? Is it ISIS?

Well Trump told us he defeated ISIS so it can't be that.

He's just ticked off because he didn't get it.

And Obama told us in 2010 that all US troops would be out of there within a year and everything would be turned over to the Iraqi government... so why is she asking US for help?

Because politicians are liars. Well, that and the fact they have no idea of what's really going on behind the scenes until after they are elected.

Which brings me to another point. ( You knew there would be another point didn't you? )

When someone makes a promise before they're elected, I can grasp that they haven't been to security briefings before. That as much as they may wish to do things, it's just not logical once they see the entire picture.

But AFTER they are in office, when they didn't actually do what they're claiming or making false claims, then it's a little harder to understand.

Listen to the Video,,, at about the 2 minute 30 second mark, she says they killed her mother and six brothers,, Trump then asked "Where are they now?" She responds, they are dead..

LOL What a dolt.

Someone will come along and attempt to translate Trumpian for you and try to make the excuse he meant it another way.

Sort of like how Tom Petty should have translated for Bob Dylan. Not that it would have helped that much.

??? the legendary nascar driver translating for bob dylan?

Yeah, that's it.

I understand the difference between a campaign promise when one has less information and is prone to exaggeration compared to an "in-office" promise when one should have no need to exaggerate and should have full information.

What does that have to do with the current discussion?

Can't wait to hear this one LOL

Basically, Trump has the attention span of a gnat. That's why when she said her parents and siblings were killed, he didn't remember it.. He wasn't even listening, wasn't actually paying attention. He didn't care,,

wut?
