South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR or SAIMAR, pronounced /ˈsaɪmɑːr/) is the name of a paramilitary organization that is believed to have performed clandestine operations to support white supremacy in Africa. SAIMR first became publicly known during sessions of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) in August 1998. A year before the second elections after the end of Apartheid, documents emerged implying SAIMR had a role in a plot to kill Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary-General, in 1961.

  • Le South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR) est une organisation parapublique de mercenaires anti-communistes et de suprématistes blancs, développée en Afrique du Sud durant l'apartheid. Cette agence a été fondée par les Britanniques après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dans le contexte de la Guerre froide. La tutelle du SAIMR a été ou est encore le MI5 et MI6. Le SAIMR est un proche allié de divers services secrets occidentaux (CIA et Mossad) et russes (IRA). Le SAIMR est spécialisé dans la réalisation de coup d’État en Afrique, de meurtres ou d’opérations clandestines. Il serait toujours en activité et compte environ 5 000 membres. Les membres du SAIMR sont le plus souvent des Sud-africains, d'anciens Rhodésiens et des Anglo-Saxons (Britanniques, Australiens, Nord-Américains) (a priori tous blancs). Son existence a été révélée par le journaliste sud-africain . Les crimes du SAIMR ont été exposés au grand public en 2019 par le documentaire danois Cold Case à l'ONU qui a été un des trois finalistes du Prix LUX du Parlement européen. Des enquêtes de l'ONU s'intéressent de plus en plus à cette organisation. Selon ce qui a été relégué à une théorie du complot, le SAIMR aurait assassiné le Secrétaire général des Nations unies Dag Hammarskjöld en 1961 et aurait propagé intentionnellement le VIH en Afrique australe et dans une moindre mesure en Afrique de l'Est dans les années 1980 et 1990.

  • South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR or SAIMAR, pronounced /ˈsaɪmɑːr/) is the name of a paramilitary organization that is believed to have performed clandestine operations to support white supremacy in Africa. SAIMR first became publicly known during sessions of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) in August 1998. A year before the second elections after the end of Apartheid, documents emerged implying SAIMR had a role in a plot to kill Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary-General, in 1961. Letters with SAIMR’s official letterhead were found during the TRC hearings. The letters suggested that MI6 and the CIA had agreed that Hammarskjöld should be removed, a suggestion both organizations denied. While conducting research on her 2011 book about the plane crash that killed Hammarskjöld, Susan Williams noticed that the original documents from the TRC have disappeared. A report by the United Nations prepared in 2014 noted that the details provided in the SAIMR documents lent some credence to theories that Hammarskjöld may have been assassinated, but noted that neither the authenticity of the documents nor their contents could be verified. The documentary Cold Case Hammarskjöld, which premiered in January 2019, brought renewed media attention to these claims. The documentary discloses testimony from an alleged ex-SAIMR operative that SAIMR deliberately spread HIV among black people in Africa. The documentary also claims that the mother of a young woman named tried to bring the killing of her daughter to the attention of the TRC, implying that her daughter had worked with SAIMR to spread HIV among black people and had wanted to make that public.
