Messages : Passing of Kofi Annan

President Jovenel Moïse "Kofi Annan, a great UN figure, has passed away. Nobel Peace Prize, his passage at the head of the Institution has left the memory of a craftsman of global stability. I bow to his remains and convey my condolences to the great family of the United Nations."

PM resigning Jack Guy Lafontant "I salute the departure of a world political leader, former Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who died in Switzerland on 18 August. Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2001, Annan marked his time as head of the institution and his death is a great loss for Africa and for the world."

Michaëlle Jean "From friend Kofi Annan, who has seen the world fall into horror, I hold this confession, its dilemma "How can the United Nations defend its raison d'être if it fails to stand up for human rights first and foremost?" Respect for this tireless peace maker."

Deputy Gary Bodeau "Kofi Annan, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and former UN Secretary General. Beyond the speech, a whole life dedicated to fight for a better world. The example to follow."
