Dag Hammarskjold - Village Magazine

Dag Hammarskjold By Chay Bowes Dag Hammarskjold was the second ever, and some say the greatest, Secretary General of the UN. When he died sixty years ago this year, President John F Kennedy suggested that Hammarskjold had been “the greatest statesman of our century”. At 47 years of age on his appointment, Hammarskjold was the youngest ever secretary-general of the United Nations and one of only two people to ever be awarded the Nobel prize posthumously. Are his life, innovations and untimely death relevant in 2021? Dag Hjalmar Agne Carl Hammarskjold was born in 1905 to a wealthy Swedish ‘noble’ family, the son of a future Swedish prime minister and politician Hjalmar Hammarskjold, who would serve during the first part of the first world war.

The mystery surrounding an Irishman s death in Africa

In 1960 Belgium had withdrawn from the Congo, but mayhem followed and it sent troops back in to protect its nationals. The UN was asked for help and a peacekeeping force, including two battalions of Irish troops, was deployed to restore order. To make a bad situation worse, Katanga, with the connivance of elements who wished to get their hands on the mineral-rich province, seceded. As the UN sought to reunite the country, clashes with Katanga forces followed. Katanga also had two, maybe three, Fouga Magister jets which flew sorties in support of its ground forces. On September 14, 1961, four days before Frank Ivers was to die in the plane crash, one of those planes strafed members of the 35th Irish Battalion s A Company at Jadotville. It swooped in over the Irish trenches on a reconnaissance flight and soldiers could see the pilot merrily waving at them.
