Tears of the Sun
(0.00 / 0 votes)Tension that had been brewing for
months in Nigeria exploded yesterday...
...as exiled Gen. Mustafa Yakubu
orchestrated a swift and violent coup...
...against the democratically elected
government of President Samuel Azuka.
In the land with 1 20 million people
and over 250 ethnic groups...
... there'd been a long history
of ethnic enmity...
...particularly between northern Fulani
Moslems and southern Christian Ibo.
The victorious Fulani rebels
have tak en to the streets...
...as outbursts of violence
continue all over the country.
Thousands have been killed in
the fighting or executed thereafter.
Fearing ethnic cleansing, most Ibo
...and are fleeing the city or searching
for sanctuary wherever they may find it.
Gen. Yakubu has tak en control
of most of the country...
...and appears firmly in charge.
There's no word on the United Nations'
reaction to the coup...
...but United States forces have already
begun to evacuate its embassy.
As you can see behind me,
...activity is high as foreign nationals
are evacuated from all over Nigeria.
This once peaceful country...
...has been rocked by a series of ethnic
unrests and brief but bitter battles...
...mainly over control
of Nigeria's vast oil supply.
However, nothing can prepare
the country...
...for the overwhelming and decisive
action that has just taken place.
We have just heard
that the entire presidential family...
...has been assassinated.
l repeat:
The entire presidential family
has been assassinated.
-Welcome aboard, Mr. Ambassador.
-Thank you.
Let me take those for you.
He got one in the leg!
Put him in the sickbay now!
Well, look at you.
-Welcome back.
-Thank you.
We appreciate you've been humping out
there, but we have to put you back in.
Priority tasking. We need to extract
a critical personality ASAP.
Now get some chow,
refit for a three-day LLRP.
See you in chow to debrief.
You...
-...go see the medic.
-Aye, captain.
Attention on deck.
As you were, gentlemen. Sit down.
Everybody get chow?
-Yes, sir.
-Okay.
Now, intel estimates
...scattered throughout this sector.
They've captured
government armories...
...and unfortunately, we have been
supplying them for far too many years.
ln addition, the local militia are killing
anyone who goes to a different church.
All right, now, your prime objective
is to find and extract...
...Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks with
lnternational Relief Services.
Dr. Kendricks is an American
by marriage.
Her late husband
was Dr. John Kendricks.
Your secondary objective...
...is to extract two nuns and a priest
who run a feel-good near Yolingo...
...if they so choose to leave.
St. Michael's Mission, right here.
You will halo over Cameroon...
...and float into your DZ near the edge
of the Mazon Rain Forest.
When you get your package...
...you will proceed
Our presence on the ground
will be considered hostile.
-Questions?
-Sir...
...rules of engagement?
You will defend yourselves if you're
fired upon. Otherwise, do not engage.
Sir, what's our escape-and-evasion
plan?
Patrol the Cameroon border
through the Tandjile Pass.
Anything else, gentlemen?
All right.
Dismissed.
lt's okay. lt's okay.
You speak English?
You speak English?
Good. Good.
l'm not gonna hurt you.
Any rebel soldiers?
You sure? You sure?
Good. Good. Can you take me
to Dr. Lena Kendricks?
Do you know who she is?
Okay, here we go.
Nice and easy. Come on.
