Kofi Annan has died

"Human rights are what make us human. They are the principles by which we create the sacred home for human dignity." (Kofi Annan)

He saved Kenya from an election that everyone agreed was rigged and manipulated by all sides. That is really tough to do!!

He is the first top-level official that I heard advocating for drug reform. Well remembered.

A good man. RIP

meta: interesting to see here on HN after the announcement of Aretha Franklin's death was removed from the FP this week.
