The 1993 “Black Hawk Down” battle in Mogadishu, Somalia, remains a painful memory for many, especially for those like Binti Ali Wardhere, who lost family members in the violence. The US military operation aimed at warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed escalated into a 17-hour battle, resulting in the deaths of 18 American soldiers and hundreds of Somalis. Binti, who witnessed the carnage and lost her husband, children, and others in the fighting, still struggles with the trauma. As a Netflix documentary revisits the events, the scars left on the Somali people are evident, with lasting emotional and physical consequences.
