CNN's Clarissa Ward and her team were held captive by a militia for two days while reporting in Darfur earlier this month. The veteran correspondent, 44, traveled to Sudan to report on the civil war that has sparked a massive humanitarian crisis, with more than 26 million facing famine. But just hours after arriving in North Darfur, Ward and her team were detained by a militia led by by a man who went by 'the general,' as she wrote for CNN. Fortunately, after 48 hours, the general informed them they would be let go, saying, 'We thought you were spies but now you can go home.' 📷 Melissa Lyttle / CNN / Getty #sudan #africa #captive #news #cnn
