Was it an accident, or a cold-blooded assassination? Who was behind it, and why? What evidence is there to support the various theories and claims? Join us as we examine the facts, the clues, and the conspiracies surrounding this tragic event that changed the course of history.We will look at:The background and context of Hammarskjöld's mission to Congo, and why he faced opposition from powerful interests in the region and beyond.The official investigations and inquiries into the crash, and why they failed to provide a conclusive answer.The eyewitness accounts, documents, and testimonies that suggest foul play, such as bullet holes in the plane, sparks in the sky, radio intercepts, and secret agents.The possible suspects and motives, ranging from mining companies, colonial powers, mercenaries, rebel groups, to intelligence agencies.The recent developments and revelations that have renewed interest and hope in solving this case, such as a UN panel report, a Swedish inquiry, and a documentary film.Don't miss this thrilling and informative episode of Journey to the Fringe, where we uncover the truth behind the death of Dag Hammarskjöld.We do apologize for the potato quality audio, it's just this week and back to normal next week (promise!)Hammarskjold Inquiry

Det finns en existentiell svindel som kan uppstå i mötet och samvaron med andra, kanske en vän, kanske en släkting, en livskamrat, ett barn, en förälder, kanske med en helt ny bekantskap. En svindel inför att den andre faktiskt finns. Att den är mer än ett ting, en sak bland andra. Att mitt väsens uppmärksamhet delar närvaron med någon annan. Det är en svindel inför det mysterium som är ”Jag och Du”, något den judiske filosofen Martin Buber menade kan odlas och kultiveras, inte minst i den mån jag orkar möta mina medmänniskor som mer än enbart statister i den föreställning, i dubbel mening, där jaget placerat sig själv. I dagens samtal reflekterar jag tillsammans med ärkebiskop emeritus KG Hammar, om Dag Hammarskjölds inspiration från Buber, vilken på ett snillrikt sätt hade ringat in detta enkla, allmänmänskliga och samtidigt andligt mättade. Detta självklara och samtidigt hisnande. Medvetandets möte med någon annan. Ett du. Och så ställer vi oss frågan, vad det säger om Dag Hammarskjölds mystik att det var just hans pågående översättningsprojekt av Martin Buber som Dag bar med sig vid sin sista stund i livet, anteckningarna till vilket återfanns som utspridda lösblad, bland resterna av det krashade flygplanet i Ndolas djungel.

"Da sa Eli: "Gå i fred! Israels Gud skal gi deg det du har bedt ham om." Hanna svarte: "Måtte du se med velvilje på din tjenestekvinne!"" (1.Sam 1,17-18) Hanna var ei kvinne som var høyt elsket av mannen sin, men likevel ufrivillig barnløs. Faktisk står det at Herren hadde stengt morslivet hennes (1, 5). Vi vet ikke hvorfor. Men det førte til mye sorg og smerte, og det igjen drev henne til tempelteltet (tempelet var ikke bygd enda) og til å øse ut alt det vonde for Herren. Det minner om et sitat av Dag Hammarskjöld, FNs første generalsekretær: "Herre, ga du meg denne uløselige ensomheten for at jeg lettere skulle gi deg alt?"  Gud har behag i at vi søker Ham for det vi lengter etter. Han VET at Han, og bare Han, kan gi oss det vi virkelig lengter etter. Og når Han holder noe tilbake for oss, er det kanskje fordi Han lengter etter oss?  Hanna fikk mye mer enn hun ba om (2,21; 3,20; 7,15). Det får vi og når vi søker Herren av hele hjertet. Han gir oss nemlig seg selv (Jer. 29, 13-14, Rom. 8, 32)! Skrevet og lest av Eli Fuglestad for Norea Håpets Kvinner.

Zum Thema: Der erste von drei Friedensmenschen ist Dag Hammarskjöld. Der Schwede wird 1953 als farbloser Bürokrat ins Amt des UNO-Generalsekretärs gewählt, entpuppt sich in den Folgejahren als großartiger Diplomat, kommt 1961 ums Leben und erhält posthum den Friedensnobelpreis. 1963 wird sein spirituelles Tagebuch veröffentlich und die Welt wundert sich: die Kraft für seinen unermüdlichen Einsatz für den Frieden zog dieser Mann aus einer tiefen Seelenfreundschaft mit Gott.

Ripoti nyingine mpya ya tathimini ya uchunguzi wa hali na mazingira ya kifo cha aliyekuwa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa mwaka 1961 Dag Hammarskjöld imetolewa leo ikiwa na vipengele vinne vipya vikiongeza uwezekano kwamba kifo hicho cha ajali ya ndege kilikuwa ni hila. Asante Anold kwanza ikumbukwe kuwa hii sio ripoti ya kwanza na huenda isiwe ya mwisho ya kutathimini hali na mazingira yliyochangia ajali ya ndege iliyokatili maisha ya Dag Hammarskjöld tarehe 17 Septemba 1961 akiwa njia kuelekea Congo ambayo sasa ni Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Cngo DRC, kujadili usitishwaji wa uhasama ila ni ripoti ya karibuni zaidiRipoti inasema mwenyekiti wa jopo la tathimini ya uchunguzi jaji mkuu wa zamani wa Tanzania Mohamed Chande Othman amepokea taarifa mpya muhimu kutoka kwa nchi wanachama ambazo zinajumuisha maeneo haya Mosi:  uingiliaji unaowezekana wa Nchi Wanachama wa mawasiliano husika.Pili: Uwezo wa wanajeshi wa Katanga, au wengine, wa kufanya shambulio linalowezekana kwenye ndege ya SE-BDY,Tatu: kuwepo kwa askari wa kigeni na wafanyakazi wa kijasusi katika eneo hilo la tukioNa nne: Taarifa zaidi mpya zinazohusiana na muktadha na matukio yanayozunguka kifo hicho mwaka 1961.Jaji Othman amemkabidi Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres ripoti hii ya tathimini ambaye naye ameiwasilisha kwa Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa.Na kufuatiia tathimini hii Guterres amesema anaizingatia ingawa kihistoria kumekuwa na nadharia nyingi zilizotolewa kama sababu inayowezekana ya ajali hiyo, na anazichukulia nadharia hizo nyingi kuwa zisizo na uthibitisho.Hata hivyo mwenyekiti wa jopo la tathimini anasema  nadharia nyingine ambayo inabaki na inakubalika ni kwamba shambulio la nje au tishio lilikuwa sababu ya ajali.Pia amesema kuwa dhana mbadala zinazoonekana kuwepo ni kwamba ajali hiyo ilitokana na hujuma, au makosa ya kibinadamu yasiyokusudiwa.Katibu mkuu amekaribisha ushirikiano uliotolewa na baadhi ya nchi wanachama katika tathimini hiyo lakini bado jopo la tathimini linaaminikuna baadhi ya nchi wanachama wana taarifa muhimu ambazo hawajataka kuzitoa.

Henning Melber is Director Emeritus of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation and former research director of the Nordic Africa Institute. Melber is the author of "Dag Hammarskjöld, the United Nations and the Decolonisation of Africa" in which he explores the years of African decolonization during which Hammarskjöld was in office, investigating the scope and limits of his influence within the context of global governance. He paints a picture of a man with strong guiding principles, but limited room for maneuver, colliding with the essential interests of the big powers as the 'wind of change' blew over the African continent. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

Den här veckan får vi möta pastor och biträdande kyrkoledare Joakim Hagerius från Equmeniakyrkan. Varje dag reflekterar han kring helgon och helighet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:I en dikt som Dag Hammarskjöld skriver bara månader innan han omkommer i en flygplanskrasch ger han intryck av att vara trött och ensam, men övertygad om att han inte får släppa taget, inte då. Dikten avslutas med orden: ”Gråt, om du kan, gråt, men klaga inte. Vägen valde dig – och du ska tacka.”Vägen valde mig, inte tvärtom. Det är ett ovanligt och saknat synsätt i vår tid. En helig, annorlunda hållning. I denna hållning är inte den viktigaste frågan hur jag når fram till mitt mål? Eller hur jag kan skapa en bättre version av mig själv? Den ännu viktigare frågan är om jag är beredd att säga ja till Jesus Kristus, och att gå så långt in i världen med kärlek och tjänande som det är möjligt. Att inte bli allt för upptagen av mig själv, utan genom Guds nåd leva ett liv som gör världen lite större och ljusare för någon annan.Text:Joh 21:18-19Musik:Jag Kan Icke Räkna Dem Alla med Anders Widmark trioProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

“The United Nations was not created in order to deliver us to heaven, but in order to save us from hell.” - Dag Hammarskjöld.“To Save Us From Hell” is a new weekly news and analysis podcast about the UN. Mark Leon Goldberg, a veteran global affairs journalist and editor of the news outlets UN Dispatch and Global Dispatches, and Anjali Dayal, a political science professor and author at Fordham University, co-host the show. They join us on Making Peace Visible to explain the significance of the UN today, especially when it comes to deescalating conflicts and laying the groundwork for peace. Goldberg and Dayal's intense focus on the UN and its work comes at a time when the world's focus on the institution seems to be diminishing, while violent conflicts are increasing. We also have global crises like climate change, infectious disease, and refugees. The one global institution designated to deal with problems at that scale is the UN. So what's missing from mainstream news coverage of the UN, and can it save us from hell?!Subscribe to “To Save Us from Hell” at globaldispatches.org. Music in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions, Siddhartha Corsus, and SFmusic.

Today I talked to Stuart Reid about his new book The Lumumba Plot: The Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination (Knopf, 2023). It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium—one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.” Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help—an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 1960–61 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network.

Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.” Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help—an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 1960–61 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions. Andrew O.

President Reagan's disappointment in and distrust of international organizations is vividly apparent in his radio commentaries from 1975-1980. Today, when we look at the situation in Ukraine, and the tragedies unfolding in Gaza, we can't help but wonder what, if anything, the organization has accomplished in bringing peace to the world. On March 25, just a month ago, the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, in addition to the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and "the urgent need to expand the flow" of aid into Gaza. There were 14 votes in favor with the United States abstaining. As of this writing, despite their demands, the parties involved - Israel and Hamas - have not heeded. It was Dag Hammarskjöld, the tragic second UN secretary general, who said it best. The United Nations, he said, “was created not to lead mankind to heaven but to save humanity from hell”. So in this podcast, we'll listen to two of Ronald Reagan's speeches - an excerpt from a 1983 address where his aggressive rhetoric was criticized and a radio address from 1978, both clarify why he believed that the UN, despite its lofty goals, is impotent.

Ny säsong av Skuggland med Anton Berg! PREMIÄR 8e april!När PanAm 103 exploderar över den lilla byn Lockerbie i Skottland 1988 dör 270 människor. Det är det största terrordådet i Storbritanniens historia. Tre personer ombord var svenskar. En av dem var Namibia-kommissionären Bernt Carlsson. Han jämförs i minnestalen med Folke Bernadotte och Dag Hammarskjöld. Men idag har hans minne bleknat. Ändå är hans uppgifter i stadsarkivet belagda med sekretess med hänvisning till rikets säkerhet. Vem var egentligen denna okända världskändis? Varför ville han helst umgås på tu man hand? Och ligger det något i de envisa rykten som menar att man borde undersöka Bernt Carlssons mäktiga fiender om man vill hitta sanningen bakom Lokerbie-bomben? Anton Berg återupptäcker en av de mäktigaste inom den svenska socialdemokratin och får tag i en härva av spioner, infiltratörer, politiska mord och svek. För inom den blyge svensken brann en eld av politisk övertygelse som ledde Bernt Carlsson rakt in i kalla krigets största konflikter. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/skuggland.

Dag Hammarskjöld är en av Sveriges internationellt mest kända personer. Hur såg hans liv ut innan han blev FN:s generalsekreterare 1953?

Det är frågor som vi samtalar om i veckans Hotspot som gästas av Staffan Carlsson, tidigare svensk diplomat och författare till boken ”Helgon och maktspelare – Dag Hammarskjöld som politiker”.

Andrea Dani, Luca Vitali"Preghiera e senso della vita"Parole, spazi, figure di un legamePrefazione di Luigi VerdiEdizioni Messaggero Padovawww.edizionimessaggero.itPregare è entrare dentro di sé, per conoscere Chi ci aiuta a conoscerci e così scoprire chi siamo, le nostre radici, il nostro futuro, intravvedere un senso. In questo testo gli autori ci accompagnano lungo un percorso ove la preghiera è colta nella sua dimensione umana all'interno del contesto contemporaneo fragile, visitato dalla crisi, da passaggi antropologici enormi che domandano modalità nuove per esprimere lo stare con Dio nelle varie età e fasi della vita. Per tale ragione, quasi fossero dei segnavia, vengono presentate anche tre esperienze di esistenze animate dallo Spirito e dal movimento della preghiera: quella di Annalena Tonelli, di Carlo Maria Martini, di Dag Hammarskjöld: storie nelle quali scorgere come l'avventura della preghiera possa aiutarci a vivere una vita ricca di senso.Andrea Dani è presbitero della diocesi di Vicenza. Licenziato in teologia spirituale, ha prestato per anni servizio come educatore del Seminario e nella pastorale vocazionale diocesana.Da alcuni mesi è parroco di tre comunità della città di Vicenza.Luca Vitali è presbitero forlivese della Comunità missionaria di Villaregia. Scrittore e teologo, ha vissuto parte della sua esperienza missionaria nella periferia di San Paolo in Brasile.

The implications are staggering, even all these years later.  Key topics:✔️ "Draw your own conclusions."✔️ "We did it" is really tantamount to, "Yeah, we did it. And what are you gonna do about it? Nothin'!"✔️ "our motivation for Balkanising their country" ✔️ "he should drop the matter" Links:https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Thread-Mystery-Surrounding-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld/dp/1455536547https://theintercept.com/2022/12/22/deconstructed-jfk-files-cia/https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v35/n07/lettershttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/14/if-trump-shot-someone-dead-fifth-avenue-many-supporters-would-call-his-murder-trial-biased/The photo I mentioned: https://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.2015.90.9 Links where I can be found: https://causeyconsultingllc.com/2023/01/30/updates-housekeeping/Need more?

Greg Poulgrain is a historian and lecturer on Southeast Asian history and author of JFK vs. Allen Dulles: Battleground Indonesia. Greg joins me once again to discuss Allen Dulles and also Dag Hammarskjöld who remains well regarded internationally as a capable diplomat and administrator, and his efforts to resolve various global crises led to him being the only posthumous recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He is considered one of the two best UN secretaries-general, along with his successor U Thant, and his appointment has been hailed as one of the most notable successes for the organization.

Most folks these days have never heard of Dag Hammarskjöld, but in his time he was a global mover and shaker. As the son of the Swedish Prime Minister, he grew up in halls of power, teaching at a prestigious university, running a bank and, eventually, heading the newly-formed United Nations. Yet his stellar career was cut short by a tragic plane crash while on a secret mission to stop a war. And, more than 60 years later, Ben, Matt and Noel are increasingly certain he was murdered. Was this death an unfortunate plane crash -- or a genuine assassination?

This week, we watched the recent Buzzfeed Productions movie My Fake Boyfriend, an incoherent tale of what happens when you make a fake boyfriend for social media, but afterwards realize you want to be with a handsome chef whose arms are muscular beyond belief. Also, it asks the very important question, is there such a thing as a celebrity stunt man?

When most people think of Sweden, or more broadly, the Scandinavian countries, they imagine a more egalitarian and advanced model to which we should aspire. Some assume without investigating that Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries, Denmark and Norway, have figured out how to be prosperous “socialist” countries.But this Swedish model is uglier than it might appear to be, with a brutal history and a dangerous present. To discuss the imperialism on which Scandinavian living standards are built, Rania Khalek was joined by Torkil Lauesen, a long-time anti-imperialist activist and writer, who spent years in prison for his militant activities as a member of a clandestine Danish communist cell. Torkil is also the author of many books, including “Riding the Wave: Sweden's Integration into the Imperialist World System.”A good book on Torkil's political activism: "Turning Money into Rebellion: The Unlikely Story of Denmark's Revolutionary Bank Robbers” https://snylterstaten.dk/turning-money-into-rebellion/TIME CODES0:00 Intro1:38 The global perspective 3:38 Scandinavian integration in the imperialist core 9:00 Swedish settlerism 14:43 Sweden, Denmark & the slave trade19:43 Sweden, Belgium, Congo & Dag Hammarskjöld25:20 1986 Assassination of Swedish PM Olof Palme29:03 Formation of the social welfare state34:06 Racism & national chauvinism 40:40 How social reforms strengthened European imperialism46:32 What radicalized Torkil into leftist anti-imperialism?57:26 Global neoliberalism in the last 50 years 1:08:15 The future after covid-19 & Ukraine1:12:53 End of capitalism?1:15:57 Opportunity for the revolutionary left?1:19:58 The Scandinavian military-industrial complex1:28:34 How to view Russia's war in Ukraine
