"Are there any photos of Kojo Annan on the Internet?"

My goodness, he certainly does seem to be camera shy!

I couldn't find one either.

There is at least one in existence, FNC showed one maybe on Friday, a still photo of him at some fancy function, standing with some beautiful young women.

But that's it.

By the way, this doesn't seem to be the first scandal the younger Annan has been involved in.

An interesting article from 2000 came up on google. It seems as if he's had some practice at this. He was just a young lad of 26 at the time of the earlier misunderstanding, "what Zimbabwe's opposition alleges is the country's most notorious act of cronyism".

Kofi Annan's Son Linked to 75m Harare Airport Deal

Lagos (This Day, May 8, 2000) - Kojo Annan sounded tetchy. "I want to make
it very clear, to avoid speculation about my father," he said. "When Air
Harbour was awarded airport contract I was not on its board of directors."

The defensiveness of the son of United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan
was understandable. Sunday Business has learnt he is a director of the
offshore company that benefited from what Zimbabwe's opposition alleges is
the country's most notorious act of cronyism.

It is a bizarre tale involving a wayward nephew of president Robert Mugabe,
the son of a former Saudi oil minister, as well as the son of the UN chief.
It is set against the backdrop of a Pounds75 million contract to redevelop
Harare International Airport, the little-known Isle of Man-registered
company that won it, and Mugabe's new mansion.

Do you have the article linked in #51, backhoe? You're keeping the archives on other Annan articles, right?

Young Annan has a bit of a history.

Thank you for your efforts to help with this photo search.

On Monday morning Fox and Friends in the 8 AM hour, E.D. showed what looked like the front page of the NY Post with Kojo, but when I went to the NY Post web page later in the morning it was a totally different front page.

Is he in the federal witness protection program maybe?
