Refugee Little Boy Drowned

 

Turkey's Erdogan causes the shooting

of stray dogs, and

unlike the old rhyme about curds and whey

Turkey's Erdogan is again bombing Kurds away.

 

Footnote;

The picture is of Alan Kurdi, a refugee in the last

Erdogan bombing of Kurds. Alan  drowned. His

body was washed ashore. The picture below is of

Alan Kurdi, born Alan Shenu.

Absolutely heart-wrenching.

Absolutely heart-wrenching. Some years back there was an attempted coup and a sliver of hope, but the far right regime, of course, crushed it. Turkey is now a cautionary example of what can happen when the far right takes hold of a country and dismantles democracy, quite easily, in fact. Erdogan was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Trump on his 2016 victory, knowing, no doubt, that he would be a gift to depots everywhere. 

 

This is what it has come to. An extremely important commentary. Thank you for opening our hearts and minds.
