Watch the clip!In 1993, famine and civil war
have gripped Somalia, resulting in over 300,000 civilian deaths and a major United Nations peacekeeping operation.
With the bulk of the peacekeepers withdrawn, the Somali militia loyal to the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid have declared war on the remaining U.N. personnel.
In response, U.S. Army Rangers, Delta Force soldiers, and 160th SOAR aviators are deployed to Somalia to capture Aidid, who has proclaimed himself president of the country
