Storyline


The government of Ghana held a state funeral for former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who passed away in Switzerland on Aug 18 at the age of 80.

A number of African and world leaders joined Ghanaian President Nana Aakufo-Addo to bid farewell to Annan at the Accra International Conference Center in the capital, Accra.

Among the leaders at the state funeral were UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Cote d'Ivoire President Alassane Ouattara, and Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio.

In his tribute, Akufo-Addo described Annan as charming, cosmopolitan, elegant, eloquent and gentle-mannered.

He said that Annan had given him sensitive and deeply appreciative advice when he took office as president of the Republic of Ghana.

UN Secretary-General Guterres said in his tribute that Annan pioneered new ideas and initiatives, including the Millennium Development Goals, and the landmark reforms in his report -- In Larger Freedom.

Annan was an exceptional leader whom not only the UN but the whole world would miss, Guterres added.

Nane Annan, widow of the departed former secretary-general, expressed gratitude to Ghana for giving her and the world such a caring husband and a leader.

Outside the conference center, Ghana's national flag and the UN flag were flown at half-mast as people gathered together to mourn the former UN chief.

Born on April 9, 1938 in Ghana, Annan served as the seventh secretary-general of the United Nations from January 1997 to December 2006. He and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.

He died at a hospital in Bern, Switzerland, after a short illness, family sources had said.
