Kofi Annan, Former UN Secretary-general, Dead At Age 80 by Ebbunwa(m): 6:22am On Aug 19, 2018 |
Africa's amiable diplomat dead at 80. May his soul rest in peace . The world will miss you. (CNN) — Kofi Annan, the first black African to lead the United Nations, has died at age 80. He served as Secretary-General at a time when worries about the Cold War were replaced by threats of global terrorism, and his efforts to combat those threats and secure a more peaceful world brought him the Nobel Peace Prize. Annan, who was born in Ghana in 1938, served as the seventh UN Secretary-General, from 1997 to 2006, and was the first to rise from within the ranks of the United Nations staff. He had also been a member, since 2007, of The Elders, a humanitarian group of a dozen leaders and activists of worldwide stature formed by Nelson Mandela. In 2013, Annan became its chairman. The Kofi Annan Foundation confirmed his death with "immense sadness" in a statement posted on Twitter. https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/18/africa/kofi-annan-obit-intl/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
