'In many ways, Kofi Annan was the United Nations. He lead the organisation into the new millennium with matchless dignity and determination,' says Ghanaian diplomat's successor.

The Ghanaian national was the first black African to be appointed as the world’s top diplomat and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work during his eight years in the role.
He died in hospital in Bern, Switzerland, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

“Wherever there was suffering or need, he reached out and touched many people with his deep compassion and empathy. He selflessly placed others first, radiating genuine kindness, warmth and brilliance in all he did.”
