Journalist Clarissa Ward reports how her team was taken hostage by a Sudanese commander while reporting from the Darfur region.

The incident occurred as the team was on its way to the town of Tawila, under the control of the Sudan Liberation Movement. En route, Ward and her team were attacked by members of a rival militia. The journalists were held hostage for nearly two days before being freed. The report comes in the context of a brutal civil war that has displaced millions of people and made the delivery of humanitarian aid significantly difficult.
