Shidane Caroone

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

This week is dedicated to the memory of Shidane Caroone, his horrific, tortured murder by Canadian soldiers in Maarso, 1993, resonated around the world.

 

It was a 14 years ago this week Shidane Caroone, an outcoming of age teenage boy and a resident of Beledweyne was captured by ciidamo Kanadiyaan naxariistii ka dhamaatay, torturing his poor soul to death, while agonizing, anguished loud voice for help in their camp -- not a soul woke up to help him, including higher officials who ran that camp.

 

His tormentors also took 'trophy' videos and pictures, sadistic images of his tortured body and during when they tortured him to death, thus self-incriminating themselves, though justice never arrived fully. None was convicted in a long prison term.

 

 

Shidane Caroone, Eebboow u naxariiso walaalkeen.

Canada is currently involved in torturing and killing innocent Afghans.

[-Lily-]

Allah unaxariisto, did the killers get a long jail term?

 

Can you please remove the picture of the deceased. It's very inapropriate and graphic.

The killers are Anglo-Saxons; not meant to get a long term jail.

yeah and why they switched to policing

[Pucca]

removing the picture would be a smart move, it serves no purpose whatsoever...

 

may allah grant him jenna.

Ilaahey ha u naxariisto.

 

I wonder why UN Officials were never held accountable for these kinds of atrocities committed by their peace keeping forces. UN abuses in Congo to Kosovo to Somalia, UN top officials are enjoying some sort of immunity.

At approximately 2045 hours on March 16, 1993, an unarmed 16-year-old Somali youth, Shidane Abukar Arone, was captured in an abandoned U.S. Seabees compound, located beside the 2 Commando compound. Mr. Arone was captured by Sgt Hillier, Tpr MacGillvray and Capt Sox. (Capt Sox had replaced Sgt Skipton on patrol for a short period of time because Sgt Skipton had a scheduled phone call to make.) Mr. Arone was fully dressed and did not offer any resistance.

 

When Sgt Skip ton returned, he saw that the captured Somali was in good physical shape. After the capture, Capt Sox ordered Pte Brown, who had been assigned to guard the 2 Commando gate from 2000 to 2300 hours, to locate the person in charge of front gate security to tell him to come back to where the prisoner was being held. Pte Brown found MCpl Matchee, who was the second in command to Sgt

Boland (and Pte Brown's and Pte Brocklebank's immediate superior) and returned with him to Capt Sox. Capt Sox then assigned MCpl Matchee to guard the prisoner.

 

By this time

Mr. Arone was bound by his ankles and wrists and had a baton stuck between his arms and his body behind his back

. Over the course of the next two and a half to three hours,

Mr. Arone was severely and brutally beaten and burned with cigarettes by MCpl Matchee

, with the acquiescence and perhaps the help of Pte Brown.

Mr Arone was rendered unconscious from time to time by the beatings. When conscious, he reportedly was required to yell "Canada, Canada"

.

While Sgt Boland was present, MCpl Matchee retied Mr. Arone's ankles. He also removed one of Mr. Arone's garments and tied it around the young Somali's head. MCpl Matchee then proceeded to pour water over Mr Arone's head.

 

In Sgt Boland's presence, Pte Brown punched Mr Arone in the jaw (although in Sgt Boland's court martial testimony he referred only to Pte Brown having said something to the prisoner). As Sgt Boland went off duty, he said to Pte Brown and MCpl Matchee, "I don't care what you do, just don't kill the guy." (According to Sgt Boland, he had remarked "don't kill him", and he described this as having been said "in a facetious sort of way, sarcastic".)

 

MCpl Matchee stayed in the bunker with Pte Brown after 2200 hours, during which time

both men hit and kicked the prisoner in his ribs and legs. MCpl Matchee also kicked Mr. Arone in his face

. MCpl Matchee said to Pte Brown, "

I want to kill this $#@% [f-word], I want to kill this guy

", and continued to

beat the young Somali until his mouth bled

. MCpl Matchee left to go to the tent of Cpl McKay, where he drank some beer. Sgt Boland arrived at the tent and had a beer with MCpl Matchee and Cpl McKay.

 

MCpl Matchee said that Pte Brown had been hitting Mr. Arone and that he, Matchee, intended to burn the soles of the Somali's feet with a cigarette.

 

At the bunker, MCpl Matchee told Pte Brocklebank to give him his pistol. Pte Brown testified at the courts martial that Pte Brocklebank seemed puzzled by this and told MCpl Matchee, "but it's loaded". Responding to an order from MCpl Matchee, Pte Brocklebank handed over his weapon, which was then held to the head of the prisoner by MCpl Matchee. According to evidence at the courts martial, MCpl Matchee held the pistol to Mr. Arone's head and told Pte Brown to take his picture.

 

MCpl Matchee continued torturing the prisoner.

 

He returned to the command post where he told his superior officer, Sgt Gresty, that "the Somali prisoner is getting a good sh!t kicking". Sgt Gresty took no action to go out and stop MCpl Matchee.

 

MCpl Matchee remarked to MCpl Giasson that in Somalia, the police would shoot the prisoner, and that "in Canada we can't do it but here they let us do it, and the NCO are aware of it". He stated that MCpl Matchee then took a two- to three-foot hollow aluminum pipe that he, MCpl Giasson, carried with him on his rounds.

 

During the time that Mr. Arone was being tortured and beaten to death, there were a number of Canadian soldiers in both the command and sentry posts.

 

Shortly after midnight, Mr. Arone was dead. Most of the beating was administered by MCpl Matchee. Pte Brown was present during much but not all of the beating. Pte Brown admitted that at an early stage of the prisoner's ordeal he had punched him once in the jaw and kicked him twice in the leg.

 

The exact cause of Mr. Arone's death was never determined, because no autopsy was performed. Medical evidence based on photographs and the description of the beating was that the death was probably caused by brain swelling resulting from the cumulative effects of blows to the head. Lacerations on the deceased's face were probably caused by blows with a fist, and such blows may have had a concussive effect, contributing to Mr. Arone's death. Death was preceded, however, by prolonged and severe pain and suffering.

 

Xigasho

Of course this is a sanitized version from the 'Soomaaliya Inquiry,' that the military investigated. I am sure a lot worse his they did to him that his torturers did not admit.

 

Shidane Caroone ehelkiisa inay sue gareyaan ayaa fiicneed eeyadaan waxaas galabsaday, including the whole military department and the dowlada Kanada itself. I heard, not sure though, that some Soomaali community members unsuccessfully tried to sue on behalf of marxuum's family.

Allaha ha unaxariisto. This is what the occupation forces are good at, kill, rape, destory and create more havoc and yet we have people who are trying to persuade us otherwise..!
