Scream of Alan
13/9/15
His
exact name is Alan Shenu but Turkish officials used to call him Aylan Kurdi
which means a Kurds boy so the whole world called him Aylan Kurdi. Now, that
does not matter. Although whatever the boy's name was the world had heard screams
from his silent body washed ashore Bodrum in Turkey and noted by reporter
Nilüfer Demir a few days ago.
Like
many other famous photographs in history, the photograph of Alan will still
haunt the world for a long time. With a dark pants, red shirt, legs in shoes
just like chasing a ball on certain grounds, Alan was lying face down on the
sand, hands down the body as if he was sleeping peacefully in lulaby of the
sea. But he was died.
Alan's
family fled civil war in their homeland Syrian with a desire to find a promised
land somewhere across the sea. But death overtook them on the high seas and
Alan was just a victim among hundreds of thousands of refugees who continue to
pour into Europe.
Europe
has been facing the worst migrant crisis since World War II. Hundreds of
thousands of people try to slip in through the “gateway” such as Hungary,
Greece or Italy. While officials of the European countries are still debating
whether to confront new challenges which up to this enormous scale,the victims
as Alan continued to be died in the hopeless evasion...
But
Alan's death is not meaningless. Prime Minister of England, the country where
has quite tough in matters of migrants, has declared that his country will “receive
more thousands of people” from the UN refugee camp near the border of Syria.
There seems to
be a connection between this decision of British boy with the death of Alan,
when Prime Minister David Cameroon said that as a father, he felt
“heartbreaking” to see photograph of Alan on the coast.
If
so, then the death of Alan helped thousands of refugees come to Europe and
increase their chances of survival over many times.
It
means that Alan’s scream penatrated the world!
