Gordon, King | January 19, 1963 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political events in Katanga, Congo, Brazzaville. The popular interpretation that the UN, plagued by its financial troubles, has decided to end matters by force is too simple an explanation. As a first step, the late UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold sought a way to rid the Congo and particularly Katanga, of the foreign influences which appeared to be predominant in the determination of policy. Diplomatic suasion, had failed to induce either Belgium or Tshombe to evacuate foreign political advisers, foreign military personnel and mercenaries.
