Apparently ............................................ Alan Shenu and Hamza al-Khatib were two young boys from Syria whose short lives and cruel deaths will forever haunt us. Three-year-old Alan from Kobani in northern Syria died from drowning in the Aegean Sea earlier this week, along with his mother Rehan and 5-year-old brother Galip, when their boat capsized as they fled to a better life in Europe or Canada. (Turkish authorities had written his name as Aylan Kurdi, or “Aylan the Kurd,” which is how the press has commonly misidentified him.)​ SOURCE:  http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/9/whats-in-the-name-of-a-dead-syrian-child.html
