Folowing the rise of ISIS in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East in 2014, many Ezidi people were displaced as they fled fom the terror that took over their homelands. The genocide carried out by Islamic State saw over 5,000 Ezidis kiled and thousands of Ezidi women and girls forced into sexual slavery. More than 500,000 Ezidis found refuge in camps.
Thousands have now been resettled around the world including Australia.
How has Ezidi settlement in Armidale over the past five years progressed?

This is a recording of the Armidale Meet The Candidates forum which was convened by New England Visions 2030 and held at the Armidale Bowling Club on the 4th of September, 2024.
Candidates were arranged alphabetically according to the leaders of the groups, and ungrouped candidates. Each of these candidates answered ten questions which had been sent to NEV and addressed to up to three candidates. After this, questions from the audience were taken.
The Armidale Bowling Club doesn’t have a facility for broadcasters to connect to their PA system, so the audio was recorded by microphones throughout the room. As a result, there is some unavoidable reverberation.
This recording is unedited, other than adding a compressor enhancement to the primary recorder.
