Former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan died on Saturday at age 80.
Annan served as Secretary General between 1997 and 2006. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.
In 2004, after archterrorist Yasser Arafat's death, Annan held a special meeting in the UN. The meeting included a "moment of silence."
Responding to his death, Israel's Foreign Ministry called Annan one of the "pillars" of "multilateral diplomacy," and said he "devoted his life to achieving peace, reducing poverty, and fighting child morbidity."
During his term, Annan opposed attempts to de-legitimize Israel, as well as attempts to deny the Holocaust. he supported the UN initiative to set an international Holocaust remembrance day.
"Kofi Annan devoted his life to making the world a more peaceful place through his compassion and dedication to service," US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said. "He worked tirelessly to unite us and never stopped fighting for the dignity of every person."
"We join the entire United Nations and diplomatic community in celebrating his life and lifting the Annan family up in love and prayers."
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, "We will remember him as having been very active in the international arena and as someone who fought anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. ...

Damn the un.
NEXT?
I hope he knew Jesus, but by his hatred of Israel and other tells, I highly doubt it.
So, I’ll have a Coke.
Kofi is dead?
Gee, that’s too bad.
To honor him, I’ll flush twice tomorrow.
Bye.
...and nobody noticed.
Aw shucks. Ain’t that a shame.
Kofi Annan
Just another globalist nincompoop certain he had all the answers, even though the back of the book historical notes proved him wrong over and over and over and over...
Third world political figures are so the rage for the Leftist globalists.
Ignorant and pliable to the max...
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He deserves a song in his memory. Satchmo will do.

I lost track of them after U Thant.
He sucked and died. My tribute.
IIRC, there was a strike by UN restaurant staff or the like, or maybe just a staff holiday, then some other UN employees really needed a drink, so they busted open and raided the liquor storage areas.
Then-SecGen Annan did nothing to the miscreants.
Notice he didn’t go back to his mud hut in Ghana, to help his countrymen there.
Instead he lived and died a lavish life style in Switzerland. His so-called “helping the poor” mantra was just like Bill Clinton and his foundation. Corrupt to the core.
By liberal standards he was a “race traitor”, because he opted to live in white Switzerland instead of his home country...
But then again liberals only have double standards.
Kovfefe Annan.
Did the obituary mention the billions he stole and the corruption that enriched his son?
LOL
that covers it
Kofi kicks the can.
