  • The Somalia affair was a 1993 Canadian military scandal. It peaked with the beating to death of Shidane Arone, a Somali teenager, at the hands of two Canadian soldiers participating in humanitarian efforts in Somalia. The act was documented by photos, and brought to light internal problems in the Canadian Airborne Regiment. Military leadership were sharply rebuked after a CBC reporter received altered documents, leading to allegations of a cover-up. Eventually a public inquiry was called. Despite being controversially cut short by the government, the Somalia Inquiry cited problems in the leadership of the Canadian Forces. The affair led to the disbanding of Canada's elite Canadian Airborne Regiment, greatly damaging the morale of the Canadian Forces, and marring the domestic and international reputation of Canadian soldiers. It also led to the immediate reduction of Canadian military spending by nearly 25% from the time of the killing to the inquiry. (en)
  • O Caso Somália, foi um escândalo militar ocorrido em 1993 mais tarde apelidado de "vergonha nacional do Canadá". Culminou com a morte brutal por espancamento de um adolescente somali nas mãos de dois soldados canadenses que participam dos esforços humanitários na Somália. O crime, documentado por fotos terríveis, chocou o público canadense e trouxe à tona os problemas internos no Canadian Airborne Regiment. A liderança militar entrou em forte reprovação depois que um repórter da CBC receberam documentos alterados, levando a acusações de . O episódio foi comparado a "uma versão canadense do ...Pentagon Papers", ou Massacre de My Lai, mas os críticos observaram que enquanto My Lai tenha ocorrido em um ambiente hostil, onde soldados estadunidenses eram mortos por um inimigo invisível todos os dias, as tropas canadenses na Somália não tinham sofrido qualquer baixa ou estresse extremo, e as únicas provocações que os canadenses enfrentaram foi um furto de sua base.

  • Убийство Шидане Ароне — смерть сомалийского подростка в марте 1993 года в результате издевательств и пыток, которым он подвергся со стороны канадских солдат в Сомали. Канадские войска находились в Сомали в 1992—1994 годах в период проведения операции «Возрождение надежды» под руководством США. Канадские солдаты во время избиения Шидане Ароне фотографировали и снимали на видео свою жертву, позируя и улыбаясь на его фоне. На суде они сказали, что это было «шутливой игрой». Расследование случая вызвало крупный скандал, выяснились другие случаи нарушений прав человека канадскими военными в Сомали: расистские выходки, пытки, унижения, убийства. Так, командир канадского контингента, полковник Лаббе, обещал своим подчинённым «ящик шампанского за каждого убитого ниггера». (ru)
