A paperwork hiccup has delayed the reunion of a Prince George man with his family.
Mamadou Tounkara had hoped to see his wife and three children this Friday in the culimination of a more than decade-long struggle to bring them to Canada. Documentation in his native Guinea - which he fled in 1997 after being tortured and jailed for five years - was secured and a community fundraising effort secured $12,000 for four plane tickets.
Unfortunately, problems with visas aborted the family's departure from Guinea on Wednesday. The new arrival date is May 7.
