End Syria's bloodshed, says father of dead toddler Aylan

The father of Aylan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian refugee boy whose body washed ashore on a Turkish beach a year ago, on Thursday denounced the world's failure to stop the bloodshed in his home country. "The politicians said after the deaths in my family: Never again!" the bereaved father, Abdullah Kurdi, 41, told Germany's Bild daily. Kurdi was speaking on the eve of the anniversary of the tragedy in the Mediterranean, in which he also lost his wife Rehab, 35, and their other son, five-year-old Galip.
