E23: Blame and Responsibility – Local Management Speaks Out

Blame and Responsibility – Local Management Speaks Out In this episode we examine the hearings involving the local management team – the individuals to whom both defendants have directed much of the blame. Around 20 former Lundin employees were called to testify in the trial. Four were Nuer and locally employed, 15 were international experts, and three were based in Geneva but frequently travelled to Sudan. All were heard during the autumn and winter. Among those called was also Carl Bildt, former Prime Minister of Sweden, who served on Lundin’s board at the time. We cannot cover all of their testimonies in this episode, but we focus on a few key figures: Richard Ramsay, a security consultant for Lundin Oil; Ken Barker, the company’s top manager in Sudan; Ashley Heppenstall, who later became CEO; and Christine Batruch, who was responsible for corporate social responsibility. Who are they and what are their roles in this trial? Participants: – Ebony Wade, Legal Adviser at Civil Rights Defenders. – Martin Schibbye, Journalist and Editor in Chief at Blankspot. Host: – Halima Athumani Background: This is the Lundin War Crimes Trial, brought to you by Pax and Global Idé. The music in this podcast is made by the artist JJ Kang and edited by Roos Boer, producer and editor Kajsa Sörman. Visit unpaiddebt.org for more background and updates from the trial. There you may also listen to more interviews with victims and experts, read expert analysis, an interactive map of attacks in Lundin’s concession area and access background information about the case.

E22: Militia Leaders in the Oil Concession Areas

E22: Militia Leaders in the Oil Concession Areas In this episode we look at the widespread use of armed militias in Sudan’s civil wars, a pattern that continues to shape conflicts in both Sudan and South Sudan today. For decades, the Sudanese government, like the British colonial administration before it, relied on proxy forces to control or attack areas beyond the reach of regular troops. Several militia leaders operated in the oil concession areas, including Peter Gatdet, Paulino Matip, Peter Paar, Tito Biel and James Liah Diu. During the period when Lundin Oil was active in the region, alliances between these militias frequently shifted. Who were these militia leaders, and how did the cooperation between the regime, military commanders and oil companies work? Participants: – John Ryle, Professor of Anthropology at Bard University and co-founder of Rift valley institute – Dr Leben Moro, Director at the center for refugee and migration and professor of development studies at the institute of peace, development and security at the university of Juba Host: – Halima Athumani Background: This is the Lundin War Crimes Trial, brought to you by Pax and Global Idé.

Media training for Palestinian youth

This is the third and last part of a trilogy about the 'Civil Society for Dignity' project, a project by MEND, PCR, PCPD and PAX for Peace, supported by the European Union. This project aims to bridge the gap between the Palestinian civil society and the local governments. In this last episode Anwaar, who works for MEND and is the media and outreach coordinator for this project and journalist Hayat Hamdan tell us more about an important part of the Civil Society for Dignity project: the media training. This training helps young Palestinians to brainstorm about and to vocalize what they would like to change in their societies and it teaches them the skills and tools to create media content that can be used to communicate their wishes for change. This is an important skill that can be used in civil society participation on the political level. Partners in this joined project are: MEND stands for Middle East Non Violence and Democracy. MEND promotes active nonviolence and encourages alternatives to violence among youth and adults throughout Palestine. MEND employs innovative methods, especially with the media, and is widely respected for working with authenticity, professionalism and courage. PCR is the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between people. PCR works to bridge the gap between Palestinians and peoples from all around the world, informing the public about the reality in Palestine, and empowering the community through nonviolent direct action. PCPD is the Palestinian Center for Peace and Democracy. They were established to promote a just peace based on the Palestinian Declaration of Independence of 1988 and relevant United Nations Resolutions towards a two state solution, in which democracy and social justice are guaranteed. PAX for Peace is based in the Netherlands and works together with committed citizens and partners to protect civilians against acts of war, to end armed violence, and to build a just peace. In Palestine PAX supports local partners in building resilient communities, promoting human security and equality in the political, cultural and social domain, and in fighting the injustices resulting from the protracted occupation.
