The Syrian boy whose picture has become the symbol of the drama of the refugees Survived the bombs and to the war, but not to the sea or the legal and geographical barriers that separate a middle east in flames of Europe. With his tiny red t-shirt and his blue trousers, lying without life in the Turkish beach tourist of ali hoca burnu, licks the face the same waves of the sea that killed him-has been identified as aylan kurdi. He was only three years old. His family had tried to seek asylum in Canada, which, I was denied. The Inflatable Boat in which they were travelling the family of aylan and other Syrian refugees-a total of six people-departed on the evening of Tuesday to Wednesday of the Bodrum Peninsula (South-West of turkey) with destiny to the island of kos. But never reached its destination. Next to the little Syrian his brother died, Galib (5 years old), His mother, rihan kurdi (35 years old) and a young man of 18 years. Only two people, one of them, the father of the family kurdi, Abdullah, managed to be rescued by the coast guard Turks.
