Friday, 14 November, 2025
In 1993, the Canadian Airborne Regiment was deployed to Somalia on a peacekeeping mission — but what unfolded was a brutal incident that shattered the illusion of military honour and exposed deep-rooted issues within the Canadian Forces. The torture and killing of Somali teenager Shidane Arone, and the disturbing images that followed, ignited national outrage, led to a public inquiry, and ultimately was a contributing factor to the disbanded an elite unit.
