A proposito di questo titolo
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.
In this episode, we delve into the events of the Somalia Affair: what happened on the ground, who tried to cover it up, and how political and military leadership scrambled to control the fallout. Command and Controversy continues with a story of violence, silence, and the cost of unchecked power.
