identified as Aylan Kurdi, along with 12 other Syrian people
A three-year-old Syrian boy, identified as Aylan Kurdi, along with 12 other Syrian people, including his five-year-old brother, drowned and were washed up on a beach near the resort town of Bodrum, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of the city of Antalya, on Turkey’s peaceful ‘Turquoise Coast’ on Wednesday.
According to Turkish media, the little brothers were from the northern Syrian town of Kobani, the site of fierce fighting between ISIS Takfiri terrorists and Kurdish forces earlier this year.
Rocketing across the world on social media, the photograph of the 3-year-old Aylan, his round cheek pressed to the sand as if he were sleeping, has forced Western nations to confront the consequence of a collective failure to help migrants fleeing the Middle East and Africa to Europe in search of hope, opportunity and safety.
The Eminent Grand Ayatollah Sayed Sadiq Husseini Shirazi, may Allah prolong his life, said that corruption, oppression, and governments’ tyranny led to poverty and compulsory immigration of their people, pointing out that corrupt governments will destroy themselves by themselves.
