Daoud Hari

Daoud Hari (aka Suleyman Abakar Moussa) was born a Sudanese tribesman in the Darfur region of Sudan. He has worked as a language interpreter and guide for NGOs and the press on fact-finding trips into the war-torn and dangerous Darfur area. In August 2006, he along with US journalist Paul Salopek and their Chadian driver were captured and detained by Sudanese government agents under suspicion of espionage, and released more than a month later. After going into exile in the US, Hari wrote a memoir about life in Darfur, called ''The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur''. Provided by Wikipedia
