4、ith spying, landed in his home state of New Mexico on Sunday morning. At the time of his arrest, Salopek, 44, had been freelance reporting for National Geographic magazine on the Sahel region, which stretches east-west across Africa along the southern edge of the Sahara. Don Belt, Salopeks editor fo
5、r the Sahel assignment, embraced the reporter upon his arrival and later said he might have lost a little weight, but he looks like hes none the worse for wear. “Were over the moon about Salopeks return“, Belt added. Salopek, who is on a scheduled leave of absence from the Chicago Tribune, arrived i
6、n Albuquerque with his wife, his Tribune editor, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Salopek said it feels “fantastic“ to be home. “Its great to see my wife, whos been through a lot in some ways more than myself-in the last 35 days,“ he said. After hes spent some time with his family, Salopek s
7、ays, he plans to “make rounds in Chicago and Washington“ to thank his friends at the Tribune and the National Geographic Society. “I can never really repay them,“ he said. But, he joked at a press conference Sunday at the Albuquerque international airport, what he can do is “rack up an enormous beer
8、 bill.“ On behalf of National Geographic, Belt thanked Richardson, the Tribune, Sudans ambassador to the United States, and Jimmy Carter. The former U.S. President had written to Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir on Salopeks behalf-a gesture that had been kept secret until Sunday. (Both National Geo
9、graphic News and National Geographic magazine are parts of the National Geographic Society.) Once Salopek is back on the job, he intends to return to Africa, first to Chad to check up on his two assistants, who were arrested and freed alongside him. Then he will complete his National Geographic assi
10、gnment in Chad, Mall, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal. Detained in Noah Darfur The Pulitzer Prize winner and his Chadian assistants-driver Idriss Abdulraham Anu and interpreter Suleiman Abakar Moussa were arrested on August 6 after traveling from Chad to Sudans troubled Dar fur Province without a visa.
11、The border crossing had been a last minute decision, Salopek said at the Sunday press conference. Normally, the three would have been deported. Instead, on August 26 they were charged with espionage, passing in- formation illegally, and disseminating “false news“, in addition to the charge of enteri
12、ng the country unlawfully. The three men were confined to a single cell in E1 Fasher, capital of Noah Dar fur Province. From the cell, Salopek says, they could see protestors daily inveighing(痛骂 ) against the United States and the Unit- ed Nations, which are leading an effort to deploy a UN peacekee
13、ping force to neighboring Dar fur Province. Salopek and his cellmates, though, werent without welcome company. U.S. soldiers-in the region advising an African Union peacekeeping force-discovered that an American was being held in El Fasher and took up his cause. “They visited us virtually every day,
14、“ Salopek said. “They were like our guardian angels. The effort to free the reporter and his colleagues, though wasnt exactly heavenly. It was like a “carnival ride,“ Salopek said, “up and down, day to day.“ The Release Governor Richardson flew to Sudan on Thursday to negotiate the three mens releas
15、e on humanitarian grounds. Thanks in part to prior dealings with the Sudanese ambassador to the U.S. and with Sudanese President Omar A1-Bashir, Richardson succeeded after a 45-minute meeting on Friday. “This is your lucky day,“ the Sudanese president told Richardson, according to the Chicago Tribun
16、e. In agreeing to release Salopek, A1-Bashir asked Richardson to convey a message to the Bush Administration requesting good treatment and release of Sudanese prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, the Tribune reports But, Richardson said in a press conference Saturday, there were “no deals“ made to win
17、the mens release. Actually getting the three out of jail required a full day of bureaucratic wrangling in El Fasher. “There were some bureaucratic hiccups,“ Richardson told the Tribune. “You just sit and wait, be pleasant, be positive.“ Salopek and his assistants were released into Richardsons custo
18、dy at 5 p.m. Saturday local time, following a brief court hearing. “We are stopping the case and we are releasing you right now. And that is all,“ Judge Hosham Mohammed Yousif told the men before setting them free. “I cant tell you how great it is to see friends faces again,“ Salopek said, when gree
19、ted in El Fasher by his wife, Linda Lynch; Richardson; Tribune editor Ann Made Lipinski; and National Geographic Editor in Chief Chris Johns. “The concern for a long prison sentence was very real,“ the reporter added. Night Flight The delays and an approaching dust storm nearly prevented the three j
20、ournalists from leaving El Fasher on Saturday. “There was a big dust storm, called a haboob,“ Salopek said. “And they close the airport for security reasons at 6 p. m.“ The airport, Salopek adds, is basically a military Base. “Picture an air base in the middle of a savannah, with helicopter gunships
21、, bombers, and Sudanese soldiers in pickup trucks with anti-aircraft guns on the back,“ he said. A small group of the U.S. soldiers escorted Salopek, his editors, Lynch, Richardson and his staff, and the U. S. counsel to the their plane. “It was like something out of a James Bond movie,“ National Ge
22、ographics Johns said. Salopek, Richardson, Lynch, and Lipinski departed Khartoum late last night on a private jet, with refueling stops in France, Ireland, and Canada. “Its all been a bit of a busy day,“ Salopek said. “Its only been 24 hours since we left Khartoum.“ “It was quite a change going from
23、 the jail cell into a private jet.“ Johns stayed behind to ensure that Salopeks driver and interpreter make it home safely to Chad. “Paul told me hes concerned about of the safe return home of his Chadian interpreter and driver.“Johns had said on Friday. “I assured him that I and the National Geogra
24、phic Society will take responsibility for getting them home safely.“ On Sunday National Geographics Belt, senior editor for geography and world affairs, said that the Chadians were on their way out of Sudan by air, by way of Ethiopia, and should be home this evening.
