That Dag Hammarskjold was killed 60 years ago seems beyond dispute. Who was responsible remains to be proved. Fascinating thread
Replying to @MaurinPicard
Susan Williams, who wrote "WKH" (Who Killed Hammarskjöld) in 2011, sums up several key testimonies here, including a former NSA officer based in Cyprus, who heard that night an unidentified pilot describe his shooting down of the Albertina. 20/ labourhub.org.uk/2021/09/18/…

Dag Hammarskjold, Gen Sec of the UN, died (killed?) Sept 18 1961. “I came to a time and place where I realized that the Way leads to a triumph which is a catastrophe and to a catastrophe which is a triumph, that the price for committing one’s life would be reproach,…

Dismayed that @netflix are removing Yunus Emre this weekend, 20 September, in Australia. Very sad for those of us who have not completed the whole series yet

58 years ago. Do we imagine there are not people who would do the same today?
Remembering the four young girls killed on Sept 15 1963 when white supremacists tossed dynamite into the Sixteenth St Baptist Church in Birmingham, following an intense summer of protests vs segregation—facing dogs and fire hoses—in what was called the Johannesburg of the South.
