This week we bring back 'Road Warriors', a documentary that paints a picture of the anarchy that followed the failed US intervention in Somalia. The last time the Americans went in on their own to 'sort out' a failed Islamic state, it left the nation even more de-stabilised than before. In the end only the establishment of an Islamic court and implementation of Sharia Law saved a desperate populace from rape, thievery and murder. Somalia's bloodthirsty militia, some as young as eleven, became the guardians of Islamic justice. We join them on their combat vehicles - Mad Max style 'technicals' and take a rare look at how Islamic law has sought to bring order to a chaotic nation.
