She had planned to attend staff training in the south of the country but was worried about her safety.
The kidnappers put an AK-47 to her head and ordered her to walk into the wilderness.
She believed they were marching to their deaths to be dignified, not an ideological one that would culminate in a public execution.
Buchanan was held captive for 13 years by her captors in Somalia .
She was the only female aid worker in the country.
She and Thisted Thisted were forced into captivity by their captors.
They agreed to collect information and avoid being raped.
