MHSRIP great son of Africa.
The 80 years age age bracket is not safe. Anything can happen anytime.
Thanks Ms. Ngonoonda for your corrections. You know History. Am a fan of History myself. Reporters should know History too through love of current affairs etc. RIP Khofi
To add @Aphiri. Kofi Annan served as UN Secretary General from January 1997 to 2006. The genocide in Rwanda occurred when Boutros Boutros-Ghali was the Secretary General whose famous quote is: ” … genocide was the gas chamber what happened in Germany. We were not able to realize that with the machete you can create a genocide. The failure of UN, my failure …in retrospective … I was not enough aggressive with the members of the Security Council”. Bourtos-Ghali’s tenure was from January 1992 to December 1996.
May His Soul Rest in Peace
Hevwas a true African hero.
RIP KOFI ANAN
Correction: Kofi Annan was the second African to become UN Secretary General. The first was Boutros Boutros Ghali.
Catch word “Black”, his predecessor, Boutros Boutros Ghali was an Arab from Egypt.
Read the article. It says he was the first black African, not the first African. Late GHali was not black but Arab
Yes indeed
First African true, but also “First black African” as reported here also true bro
You see now. When I say 75 above are vulnerable ages some of you nkumalimbikira za APM. Kalista knows that the old die like nkhuku ya chitopa. Now those of you who want Atupele for VP watch out. Chubu chopopa yekha Muluzi akulimbana nachobetu. It’s sad to lose a statesman like. Khofu but old age is celebrated when we reach and die there. Aretha Franklin died two days ago. Winnie Mandala in April. APM mwakalamba zisiyeni za kubazi inu. RIP my mentor Kofi Anan. Kwa nkhalamba days are numbered.
Comment on age and governance is clearly out of context apa.
Great son of Africa. Rest in peace
RIP Great son of Africa
On point of correction to Mr Ngonoonda, what the reporter is saying that Kofi Annani was criticised for the genocide in Rwanda it’s true, tha time he was the head of peace keeping operations and not Un Secretary General, mindyou, Anan served on different positions at UN before becoming the Secretary General. You must check the facts before you comment on things
Thanks, Stonex. The mind was toast over the position of UN Secretary General. I remember vividly when head of peace keeping operations was being bombarded with questions about it by a news anchor working for BBC World News. The sheer blood letting that Hutus exhibited against Tutsis in April 1996 opened my eyes to “tribalism” that exist between or among ethnic groups in Africa and in the manner it is nurtured starting from the upbringing of children until they are grown ups. The scale of the genocide was underestimated. It was volunteers on the ground who filled reports about it… Read more »
