Graduate school student Salal Hasan Khudaida is now the only Yazidi living in Taiwan. Khudaida arrived here after applying for a government scholarship a year and a half ago to study chemical engineering at Taiwan Tech. "My older brother came to study civil engineering at Taiwan University about 10 years ago and stayed for eight years. He is the one that told me I could apply for scholarship in Taiwan," Khudaida said in fluent Mandarin. Though the Yazidis' plight received some attention at the time, the genocide is little discussed and little known, especially in Taiwan.
