The world has lost a great statesman. In a world of conflict and division, he was a voice of reason, working for peace and cooperation between all nations.

Rest in peace, Kofi Annan. You will be missed.

What exactly was he supposed to do when the US vetoed intervention in the Security Council? o.O
Sad to hear. RIP, Kofi Annan.
