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! 🤯
More than €42m of the €300m Argentina received after winning the 2022 World Cup was diverted to shell companies. 🇦🇷
A contract signed just 9 days BEFORE Argentina's World Cup win vs France reportedly gave 30% of the AFA's World Cup revenue to a company called TourProdEnter.
FIFA then allegedly transferred the World Cup funds directly to that company, which reportedly has NO links to football.

If you wanted to know that the State is in support of the violation of the human rights and illegal actions against foreign nationals, whether documented or undocumented, just visit one of the Parliament Villages in Cape Town.
Be accompanied by a foreign national, with valid documents to be in South Africa, that person will not be allowed in.
The police who guard these villages (for what reason I do not know because they should be on the streets fighting crime), have instituted a law that no foreign national is allowed into Parliament Villages.
It does not matter that they have valid documentation, the South African Police Services (SAPS) is restricting access to anyone who is not a South African into Parliament villages.
Parliament itself is on recess, but one wonders whether foreign diplomats would be restricted from accessing and visiting Parliament as well.
The South African state is fully backing xenophobia, and there is no greater expression of this than when police practice discrimination. No wonder thugs are raiding homes of people without consequence, the police themselves have internalised that the abuse of foreign nationals, documented or undocumented, is acceptable.
It does not matter whether you are legal or illegal, being in black and a foreign national in South Africa has become a crime in itself.
Jürgen Klopp led a furious backlash against Fifa president Gianni Infantino, who now faces calls to resign after overturning Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension.
“This is our sport, not theirs. If Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino really sorted this out between themselves, it is madness; it calls everything into question.”

Trump says he personally asked FIFA's president to review US striker Folarin Balogun's controversial red card, adding "I didn't think it was a foul" https://t.co/R7gyHF3KfA
Julius Malema is a chosen leader. His fate was decided by the African ancestors. What he has built and achieved thus far will live on beyond 10 generations from now.
Jacinta Zuma is a chosen spy. Her fate was decided by the CIA, she exists only to serve a particular agenda.
