Turning Points: The Somalia Affair
 

March 16, 1993. A Somali youth is tortured and beaten to death while in the custody of Canadian soldiers. That night of horror launches a four-year national saga, and the darkest chapter in Canadian military history. This documentary explores the chain of events that turned a proud regiment in to a public pariah, ruined numerous military careers, and tainted the governments of three Prime Ministers.

Turning Points: The Somalia Affair also includes exclusive interviews with the Somalia mission's commanding officer and a former prime minister. Another soldier speaks out for the first time about how he witnessed the torture, and a retired Lieutenant Colonel reveals how key players at national defense headquarters tried to prevent the public from learning the truth.


Turning Points: The Somalia Affair airs Monday, October 21 at 9 pm ET/PT.

For anyone interested, a program airing on History television Canada on the whole Somolia incident will be airing next monday. Check it out.

Bump

Wasnt this the Airborne Regiment that was disbanded ?? That was the stupidiest fucking thing the Canadian Government could have done. Complete and utter no brainer.

...that reminds me, Ninty9...how did you go... regarding your nuts...?...

Yeah thats the one.

And I suppose that is partially because of the malaria drug they had to take. Once they killed that kid, all hell broke loose.
