Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001,
because he was the first black African to head the United Nations.
Fixed it.

I’m sure Haiti is just drowning in tears.
Oh wait, no they are drowning in disease from UN soldiers working with the Clinton Foundation for profit.

Corrupt as hell. He himself got at the very least special favors and goodies from various scumbags like Saddam. His son was a ridiculously highly paid consultant lobbying for Saddam and other tyrants. Jodi was a sleazeball and the world is a better place now that he is no longer part of it.

“Im sure Haiti is just drowning in tears.”
I wonder if people in Iraq are sharing similar sentiments, as Annan was boss of the UN while Saddam was getting away with all sorts of corruption and brutality during the Oil for Food scandal era.

It may surprise you to learn that Africa is a large continent containing people of many ethnic/racial backgrounds, same as the other continents. There are plenty of non-black South Africans, Egyptians, Algerians, Moroccans, etc.

Another scandal I forgot about !
The list of wrongdoings by the communists in my lifetime is simply too long. It’s impossibly long.
