    The former U.N. Secretary-General fancied himself a great leader, but he was constitutionally incapable of accepting the burdens that great leadership entails.http://nyer.cm/vBVZbo7

        Pretty unfair, biased assessment that completely discounts the reality of the Secretary General position in a world where super powers’ willingness to hold themselves accountable is determinative of the impact International organizations have on enforcing intl norms & law

        Cheap shot from an acrimonious writer. Kofi Annan's legacy should not be immune from careful examination and criticism, but this is unworthy of the @NewYorker @PGourevitch

        If nothing else the man brought a grace and humility to an impossible position of appeasement. His frustration levels must have unimaginable. You could maybe glean examples for yourself from his sublime qualities as a human being.

        Pathetic and disrespectful article. In Kenya we are very grateful for the role he played in making peace in 2008 at a time when things were really bad.

        You had only bad things to say about Annan, as though you were in for a personal vendetta. Biased and lopsided assessment of his legacy. Sham journalism.

        I have never expect these white supremacist to say anything good about a black African, these western media houses are never ready to report anything good about Africa & Africans. Mr Annan was an exemplary leader. You can go to hell if you don't agree.
