        Ihave a great memories of Mr Anan when,on7 /April,people around the world commemorate the,10th anniversary of Rwanda genocide,that observance should be filled not only with remorse,but with resolve. And ensure that such a denial of our common,humanity is never allowed to happen..

        Kofi Annan dedicated his life to building a more just and peaceful world. His efforts in support of conflict resolution and human rights will be remembered. He looked for a peaceful path when others looked for war. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
