IMTD INTERNATIONAL IN ZAMBIA
A memorial marks the spot where a plane crash killed several United Nations members on a peace mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Dag Hammarskjöld’s values of unwavering dedication to peace, impartiality, and the belief that dialogue and diplomacy are key to resolving conflicts are foundational of IMTD and to our approach at IMTD Zambia. We have embraced these principles as pillars in our work:
-
Commitment to Neutrality: Like Hammarskjöld, we engage with all parties in disputes, fostering dialogue and mutual understanding without bias.
-
Respect for Diversity: With 73 different ethnic groups and languages, Zambia actively promotes inclusivity and cultural respect. The main languages spoken in Zambia’s 10 provinces are Bemba, predominantly used in Copperbelt, Northern, Luapula, Muchinga, and parts of Central Provinces; Nyanja, widely spoken in Lusaka and Eastern Provinces; Tonga in Southern and parts of Central Provinces; Lozi in Western Province; and Kaonde in North-Western Province.
-
Peace through Dialogue: Hammarskjöld's focus on peaceful negotiation guides our conflict resolution practices, where we organize peace forums and community dialogues to address tensions and work toward collaborative solutions.
The historical connection to Hammarskjöld's mission in Ndola serves as a reminder of Zambia’s long-standing dedication to peace, both within its borders and across the region. As a landlocked nation surrounded by countries that have experienced conflict, Zambia has served as a mediator, hosting peace talks and offering sanctuary to those fleeing unrest. Notable peace efforts include the Angola Civil War Peace Talks (1989-1994), which culminated in the Lusaka Protocol, the Congo Crisis Peace Talks (1998-1999), leading to the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement, and discussions aimed at resolving Zimbabwe’s political crisis in 2008.
In 1961, Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) was slated to host peace talks to resolve the Congo Crisis, with key players such as Cyrille Adoula, Congo’s Prime Minister, and Moise Tshombe, the leader of Katanga. Though the talks did not immediately resolve the conflict, Zambia’s role in this peace process cemented its reputation as a critical player in African diplomacy, a role it continues to uphold today under the leadership of IMTD Zambia.
