Andrea Mitchell said she felt angry and humiliated after Sudanese bodyguards dragged her out of a room Thursday for questioning President Omar el-Bashir about his involvement in the country’s violence.
Large, gun-toting guards painfully wrenched the 5-foot-3 Mitchell’s arm behind her. She was freed after U.S. officials accompanying Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice complained.
Mitchell, NBC News’ diplomatic correspondent, was part of a press contingent following Rice on her visit to the war-torn African country.
Sudanese officials already didn’t want her there. Mitchell said she was shoved as she entered a room where Rice and el-Bashir were posing for pictures. Reporters were only allowed in at the State Department’s insistence, and were told not to ask questions.
