Kofi Annan, a soft-spoken and patrician diplomat from Ghana, who became the seventh secretary general of the United Nations, projecting himself and his organization as the world’s conscience and moral arbiter despite bloody debacles that left indelible stains on his record as a peacekeeper, died on Saturday. He was 80.

His death, after a short illness, was confirmed by his family in a statement from the Kofi Annan Foundation, which is based in Switzerland.

These photos wake up this entire thread. HBow explicit they are showing the current leftist Dem misinformation that men like Anan and ‘ Madeeb” were heroic. In fact they were nothing but totalitarians who hid themselves well, no different from Mugabe and his ilk.Racist National Socialists
whose legacy is fascism itself.

Every nation they have organized to seize from their erroneously defined white enemies has failed economically because they are overly pretentious tribesmen who have learned to wear the clothes of modernity in camouflage.And so let them go back to their jungle and see how they learn to like it. This is the future they have wrought because of their own racist views.
