  • Dr Susan Williams, Author, 'Who Killed Hammarskjöld?'
    1 Covering-up the Truth about Dag Hammarskjöld’s Death: The UK government’s refusal to comply with the UN’s request to appoint an independent and high-ranking official to review its intelligence and security records Susan Williams The failure of the United Kingdom to cooperate with the United Nations regarding its current investigation into the death in 1961 of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld is tantamount to a cover-up. This is consistent with its behaviour over the many years since the deaths in 1961 of Hammarskjöld and the fifteen people with him, when their plane plunged in the middle of the night of 17-18 September into thick forest near Ndola in the British colonial territory of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).* Hammarskjöld and his UN team had been on a mission to seek to bring peace to the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), which had become independent from Belgian colonial rule in 1960. The former Chief Justice of Tanzania, Mohamed Chande Othman, was appointed by the UN Secretary General António Guterres in 2015 as the ‘Eminent Person’ to lead the UN investigation into the tragedy. Judge Othman has discovered a mass of new information and has reviewed evidence that was neglected or dismissed in earlier years, such as the testimony of Zambian witnesses in 1961. (Please see the addendum to this paper for a brief history of previous investigations.) ‘It appears plausible,’ observed the Judge in his report of 2017, ‘that an external attack or threat may have been a cause of the crash, whether by way of a direct attack ..

  • The Role of MI6 in the Assassination of Patrice Lumumba
    The Role of MI6 in the Assassination of Patrice Lumumba The Congolese leader was overthrown, kidnapped and executed by imperialists forces in 1960-61 By Abayomi Azikiwe Region: sub-Saharan Africa Global Research, April 08, 2013 Theme: Intelligence Pan-African News Wire A recent letter to the London Review of Books has opened back up discussions about those responsible for the assassination of revolutionary Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba, a charismatic and popular organizer during the 1958-1960 period, captivated the hearts and minds of the majority of his people and the African continent during the struggle against Belgian colonialism. David Lea, a member of the House of Lords, wrote the letter in response to a review of a book on the history of MI6 entitled “Empire and Secrets: British Intelligence, the Cold War and the Twilight of Empire” by Calder Walton. Lea’s letter referenced the passage in the book by Walton that said “The question remains whether British plots to assassinate Lumumba…ever amounted to anything. At present we do not know.” Lea wrote that “Actually, in this particular case, I can report that we do. It so happens that I was having a cup of tea with Daphne Park…. She had been consul and first secretary in Leopoldville, now Kinshasha, from 1959 to 1961, which in practice meant head of MI6 there.” Lea continues claiming that “I mentioned the uproar surrounding Lumumba’s abduction and murder, and recalled the theory that MI6 might have had something to do with it. ‘We did,’ she replied, ‘I organized it.’” This same British official reports Park felt, as many in the West did at the time, that if a pro- imperialist regime did not take control of Congo the country’s mineral resources would be taken by the Soviet Union.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of that resolution, in 2018 I reappointed as Eminent Person Mohamed Chande Othman to continue to review potential new information, including that which may be available from Member States, to assess its probative value, to determine the scope that any further inquiry or investigation should take and, if possible, to draw conclusions from the investigations already conducted. I recall that I had previously appointed Mr. Othman as Eminent Person in 2017 pursuant to General Assembly resolution 71/260 and, prior to that, as Head of the Independent Panel of Experts appointed pursuant to General Assembly resolution 69/246. In resolution 72/252, the General Assembly requested that I provide an oral briefing on any progress made to the Assembly before the end of the main part of its seventy-third session and to report to the Assembly before the end of its seventy-third session on any further progress made.

SO = Sue Onslow MC = Mark Chona SO: Sue Onslow talking to Mr Mark Chona in Makeni, Lusaka, on Tuesday 11th August, 2015. Sir, thank you very much indeed for agreeing to be interviewed for this oral history project. I wonder if you would begin please, Sir, by explaining how you came to be His Excellency's Kenneth Kaunda's special advisor on political affairs, and what was your view of the Commonwealth when you assumed that office? MC: Thank you very much. President Kaunda and I come from quite a distance in the past through my brother, Mainza Chona, who was in the UK at Grays Inn (1955-1958). When he qualified as a Lawyer, he came back and joined politics and became the first president of what became the ruling party, the United National Independence Party. President Kaunda then arranged with President Kennedy for me to be among the first prospective diplomats after independence, so I was in Washington at the American University from 1963 to 1964. After staying in Cambridge again for one year to study public administration, I came back into government administration. I had known President Kaunda earlier when I was at University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. He was 1 very much in my blood as a student activist. So immediately after independence, following my diplomatic training, I was in his office up to 31 March 1965, when I became Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

PRENTICE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History Robert A. Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract PRENTICE, DAVID L., Ph.D., December 2013, History Ending America’s Vietnam War: Vietnamization’s Domestic Origins and International Ramifications, 1968-1970 Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach America’s exit from Vietnam was as contingent, complicated, and agonizing as its decision to pursue war in Indochina, and this dissertation focuses on the critical period— 1968-1970. Based on research at eight domestic and foreign archives, I argue that the perception of a crumbling home front drove U.S. policymaking and that America’s allies and enemies appreciated and reacted to this domestic context and decision-making. In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson concluded he had little choice but to cap U.S. troop strength, stop bombing North Vietnam, and begin negotiations, but he drew the line at unilateral withdrawals and kept military escalation on the table. Hence, the battle over America’s exit strategy occurred during Richard Nixon’s first year in office.
