The lawyer for a Canadian woman stranded in Kenya said he will file a motion in Federal Court on Tuesday, asking the federal government to issue an emergency passport so she can return home after a DNA test confirmed her identity.
Raoul Boulakia, the lawyer for Suaad Haji Mohamud, said he received the genetic test report on Monday afternoon, and it proves that she is the mother of a 12-year-old boy living in Toronto, confirming who she says she is.

The Canadian government later wrote to the Kenyan government informing officials there that it had done a thorough investigation and determined her to be an imposter and recommended that she be prosecuted.
Gotta love how our government is protecting Canada from its own citizens. And not only that, but encouraging foreign governments to prosecute them.

They totally dropped the ball here and embarassed the whole country. Everyone involved should get more than a slap on the wrist for the way this has been handled.
