LUMPUR: On this date twenty years ago, over 100 Malaysian soldiers put their lives at risk to rescue trapped American rangers in the war torn city of Mogadishu, You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.

The rescue mission, carried out along with United States Rangers and the Delta Force commandos, left many including Malaysian Corporal Mat Aznan dead and nine other Malaysian soldiers injured.

Despite the bravery of the ’19 Melayu Diraja Mekanise’ troop, it would seem their efforts was unrecognised and underplayed in the international media, making it seem like the Malaysian army played an insignificant and a non-existent part in the mission.

The fact was, the roles of the Malaysian troop during the incident which saw the Somali militias shooting down two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were so discounted in the 2001 American film Black Hawk Down
that it hurt the Malaysian soldiers’ feelings.

One such person is Major General (R) Datuk Md Rozi Baharom.


The Deputy Commander for the Malaysian Battalion was only 42-years-old when he co-led the Malaysian troop to the streets of Mogadishu to extract Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid and his men.

Wala naman sila mapapala sa western media specially sa US puro propaganda laman nang mga news and movie nila, sure ako na me reason ng Pentagon kung bakit hindi nila eto ni-recognize or nilabas yung info makalipas ng ilan dekada.

All in all matatapang at sila talaga yung true heroes nang mundo mga UN peacekeeping force, dahil sila yung puma-pagitna palagi sa mga conflict at hindi sila allowed bumaril kapag sila yung binabaril.
