Belgium acquits two in Somalia "torture"

Posted 17:05:47 1997/06/30

In Belgium, a military court Monday acquitted two ex-paratroopers of torturing a Somali child during the humanitarian mission to that country.

 

They were accused of roasting the child over a fire.

 

In their defence, the soldiers claimed they were just playing a friendly game.

 

The court agreed, saying there was no evidence that they meant to hurt the child.

 

Kurt Coelus and Claude Baert had been identified from a photograph in Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws earlier this year which appeared to show them swinging a boy over a camp fire.

 

The court said there was insufficient evidence that the two men had had racist motives, although there might have been a generally racist atmosphere in their battalion or among other United Nations troops in Somalia.

Excuse me? Do I detect anger here?

 

Have you forgotton that OUR brothers and sisters back home have for the last decade done worse things to each other? To the children, women, elderly? Killed each other, TORTURED each other?

 

Have you forgotten its still happening?

 

I just bought this up to make pple realize that its not just about US...were killing, raping, torturing, maiming each other...WHILE OTHERS ARE DOING THE SAME TO US!!!!

 

La illaha illalaaho maxamadu rasullilah

 

Were screwed from all angels!!!! :mad: :mad:

[Thinkerman]

It sad to relive such events

 

But kinda makes u wonder, why get so angry if a foriegner is the culprit?

 

Somalis have been committing attrocities againts each other for years.

[Passion_4_Fashion]

^^^good point.....

[Qac Qaac]

we could do whatever we want to each other.. but when foreigners get involved damn, it leaves a mark...

 

I am not saying the killing of each other is good, but anyways it is among us.. but cadaan comes and just does to u, and gets away with it. it should not happen.

[Thinkerman]

^^^ That doesnt make any sense.
