Under cover of darkness, 40 Filipino peacekeepers who were surrounded and came under fire by Syrian rebels in the Golan Heights made their overnight daring escape at the end of August. Forty-four Fijian soldiers remained in the hands of the insurgents.

The Fijian soldiers, who were apparently ordered to lay down their arms by the UN peacekeeping commander in the Golan Heights, surrendered to the Al-Nusra front and are still being held captive at an unknown location.

According to the report, the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra has said it intends to try the men under Sharia law.

Should have fought to the death instead.

The Filipinos got the order to lay down their arms and refused.

God bless them!

The total population of Fiji is 900,000. Loosing 40 people in a “UN peacekeeping” force is tantamount to genocide. Why is the UN intent on Fiji genocide?
