E don do na! angry

Kofi Annan this, Kofi Annan that!

Even those that never cared to listen to him while he was alive, everybody don turn Kofi Annan expert. Why didn't you drop all these dates & quotes last month while he was still alive? Were these information just released after his death?

Trying to monetize a dead man is disgusting.

Kofi Anan backed a foreign army ( the French army) in the massacre of thousands of unarmed civilians by French soldiers in November 2004 at the Hotel Ivoire in Abidjan, CI. People were protesting against France's support to Muslim rebels who attacked the country on September 2, 2002.
Thanks to France and Koffi Anan, Ouattara the rebel leader is president today in Cote d'Ivoire
