About this Petition Pledge

The Translator is the memoir of Daoud Hari, a Zaghawa tribesman forced to flee his village in Darfur in 2003. From the book's website:

"Though Hari's village was attacked and destroyed, he was able to escape and lead survivors to safety. When international aid groups and reporters arrived, Hari offered his services as a translator and guide. He risked his life again and again, for the government of Sudan had outlawed journalists in the region, and death was the punishment for those who aided the "foreign spies." And then, inevitably, his luck ran out and he was captured. . . ."
