How a diplomatic flight from Ethiopia to Eritrea became a surprise reunion between a mother and son...

When flight crew member Henok Berhane left Addis Ababa on a VIP flight, he thought they were heading to Sudan. They were actually en route to Eritrea, where Henok's mother lives, separated from him...
