    Mid Week Bonus Q


    Identify the kid using the pic (inset) as a reference


    2points at stake!


    Ans. Elian Gonzalves.


    The main picture shows Elián González, a 11-yr old Cuban boy who was the centre of controversy between govt. of Cuba and USA in year 2000.(Also, can be seen in the picture is Fidel Castro, though out of focus). Elián's mother tried to immigrate to USA illegally with him and her boyfriend. When she drowned, Elián was initially kept with his paternal relatives in Miami, who sought to keep him in the United States against his father's demands that González be returned to Cuba. After a district court's rulling that only Elián's father could petition for the asylum on the boy's behalf and not his extended relatives was upheld and when US Supreme court declined to hear the case, the boy was returned to his father in Cuba. Elián considered Fidel Castro as "not only as a friend but as a father".
    The South Park Romania Episode has a scene in it where US forces enter Kenny's house to take him to his father alive, but accidently kill him.
