The Return

In the winter of 1990-1991, a virus of unknown origin, known as the Somali Hemorrhagic Virus, appeared in Somalia. Reports of extreme violence in the Somali Civil War and thousands of dead in combats force the United Nations to take decisive action and send a task force to the country. Up to thirty thousand soldiers of twenty-five countries, most of them from the US, entered Somalia to reestablish law and order. However, what they found was a situation by far worse than what the UN though it was facing.
