        A truly great man who was ahead of his times. His legacy is one that I hope many shall rise to. It was a shame he gave up his position in the Middle East but I can understand his frustration with this increasingly selfish world. RIP

        BBC virtue signalling about an elite who has died & who hasn't done anything for any member of the public anywhere. Still virtue signalling is what BBC does best. UK public more interested in BBC questioning UK govt about innocents getting stabbed in UK & obscene rise in violence

        There's really a scarcity of leadership today, sadly even in great bodies like the UN.

        Security Council decision making format makes UN a crippled war/crisis avertion and mediation organisation. Neverheless, Kofi Annan was indeed a politician of world calibre and it's a pity he couldn't accomplish more during his tenure.

        I do not agree. He and his succeessor Bankimun were like pupets of the imperialism. They did Nothing they changed Nothing.
