A father is now reunited with his entire family after an eight year long journey.

Fidele Diing Dhan left South Sudan in 1987 because there was a civil war going on at the time. Dhan walked to Ethiopia and then Kenya to flee his war-torn homeland becoming one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan."

After waiting eight years, 7 Eyewitness News was there when Dhan finally got to see his family again.
