Belgian peacekeeping paratroopers dangling a Somali child over an open fire during the 1993 UNOSOM II humanitarian mission.
In 1993, a shocking photograph from Somalia exposed a darker side of a mission that was originally created to protect civilians.
The image shows Belgian paratroopers serving under the United Nations Operation in Somalia II (UNOSOM II) holding a young Somali child above a fire. The mission had been launched after years of civil war, famine, and political collapse left Somalia facing a devastating humanitarian crisis. International troops arrived with the goal of securing aid routes, protecting relief workers, and helping restore stability.
However, the reality on the ground became far more complicated. Peacekeepers operated in a country devastated by war, where distrust between foreign troops and local communities grew. Several incidents involving the mistreatment of Somali civilians began to surface, including accusations against members of the Belgian contingent.
This photograph became one of the most infamous examples. The soldiers involved said they were attempting to scare the child after accusing him of stealing, but the image caused international outrage. To many people, it represented a serious violation of the trust placed in soldiers who were supposed to protect vulnerable communities.
The controversy did not end with this photo. Other images and testimonies later emerged alleging humiliation, racism, and abuse by some Belgian troops during their deployment. Investigations followed, and the incidents contributed to broader discussions about how international forces should be monitored when operating in humanitarian missions.

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine activists have disrupted a presentation by Werner Vogels, Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, at the UN’s “AI for Good” summit in Switzerland.
Palestinian civil society strongly condemns the UN International Telecommunication Union’s shameful partnership with criminal tech companies in this summit, particularly Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, and IBM. In providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli war ministry, these companies are deeply complicit in Israel's military occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians.
Project Nimbus, the joint $1.22 billion contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021, provides cloud and AI tech services to the Israeli government and the Israeli military. It enables the Israeli military to run deadly AI programs such as Lavender and Gospel — crucial to its ongoing, livestreamed genocide in Gaza.
We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to end all UN partnership and contracts with these and similarly complicit corporations, and on Amazon and Google to drop their genocidal Project Nimbus.

This is not Iran. This is Iraq.
Who would have thought Khamenei’s assassination would bring together Iraq and Iran like this. The superpowers won’t like this.
People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.
It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…
From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.
