It is with immense sadness that the Annan family and the Kofi Annan Foundation announce that Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Laureate, passed away peacefully on Saturday 18th August after a short illness. His wife Nane and their children Ama, Kojo and Nina were by his side during his last days.
Kofi Annan was a global statesman and a deeply committed internationalist who fought throughout his life for a fairer and more peaceful world. During his distinguished career and leadership of the United Nations he was an ardent champion of peace, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law.
After stepping down from the United Nations, he continued to work tirelessly in the cause of peace through his chairmanship of the Kofi Annan Foundation and as chair of The Elders, the group founded by Nelson Mandela. He was an inspiration to young and old alike.
Kofi Annan was a son of Ghana and felt a special responsibility towards Africa. He was particularly committed to African development and deeply engaged in many initiatives, including his chairmanship of the Africa Progress Panel and his early leadership of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).
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. He will be greatly missed by so many around the world, as well as his staff at the Foundation and his many former colleagues in the United Nations system. He will remain in our hearts forever.
The family kindly requests privacy at this time of mourning. Arrangements to celebrate his remarkable life will be announced later.

We thought this was fake News at first.
Now we have this utterly crazy news of Dr Kofi ~~Anan death, we address former USA President Obama, former general Collin Powell and former USA foreign Secretary Condolesa Rice - that Truth Commission in Seychelles, the many very strange death those who have put in place the mechanism to manage and control and manipulate this process, the mega why As they did the South African Truth Commission and the crap the media wrote, so call history - his unpublished role in turning the OAU to African Union
Dr Kofi Ana under the Mandate of the Truth Commissions could have been subpoena to given information , evident of his knowledge of that SIROP program , our Ghana old connection all those from Ghana we have know and worked with the past 40 years.
Our deep respect , condolence and sympathies to Dr Kofi Anan family, the UN officials and vast its networks, the Ghanan people and its exile and their SDA Christian community in Britain.

Late of WINTHROP
Aged 80 years
The last time we saw Mr Robert Frichot was at the Camberland Hotel
At the time of Mr Gerard Hoareau, the SNM/MPR Leader assassination, November 1985 we had been involved in two Grass Root projects the setting up of a long term, integrating solution for the Seychelles Community in London, Britian - we are now 2018 their fate and the Briteixt and the SIROP program our greater EU workings, the privilege of getting access to UN then data information on Refugees and Migrant in Europe from UNIDO building in Vienna - they must still have the report stipulating and advocating that refugees and exile must look towards long term solution in the new home country, how the UN go about supporting and coordinating this instead the approach of using their new home country to mount military actions, oppositions. Beside existing Migrant communities form their Mother country. ( These finding came about at the time I researched the concept for an Indian Ocean Industrial Investment Promotion Center those who had argued at the UNIDO/IMF/World Bank meeting that the USA, Britain in particularly would never allow a similar body like the CARICOM to be set up in the Indian Ocean given the colonial political set up this was an alternative approach, all those who advised, edited and help write it. I shared these issue with Mr Felix Hoareau in 1979 in Swansea and later some of the SNM/MPR Executive and other Factions, they did not like the idea at all including Sir James Mancham , their views we must work at a military solution. Then GLC Mr Ken Livingstone Office we visited and explained these issues) Beside our private business, we took the time to research and study how the Grass Root Communities in London functioned, worked, their resources, then Wondsworth Town Hall the person of Ms Fiona Mc Taggart Town Hall Staff, We had researched several of the then exiles/refugees communities including the Chinese, visited then NCVO and BRC resources and other Refugee projects my argument as Mr Paul chow rightly pointed out in his Tet a Tet Interview doner financial sources were drying out for military intervention including those of Sir James Mancham, alternative Financing, the oil, steel and cement cartels, barter deals, big credit cartel. Sir James Mancham lived at Deodar Rd in Putney. We had also researched the several Town Hall Hounslow ethnic communities Grass root workings, housing, community and refugee support resources, education and employment and setting up small business, empowering one respective community - informing the public and other relevant parties, bodies about their causes, funding and Office resource - hence we had approached then Wondsworth Forum, based at the Old Town Hall, became an Executive Member,then Police Station next door how the police monitored our issues , they agreed to give us a space for setting up our Seychelles community project and the Staff /office Resources and they were a formidable voice in the Borough, then Lady Thatcher government and then Dame Shirley Porter and Mayor, the Mauritius New paper of Mr Peter Challum just down the road. We also worked on the city and government issues from an Interdisciplinary Management, not even our ex Ministers have had this Training, prospective -it also call for /required that one became flexible the indepth work with the Latin american Communities and the Caribbean Communities in London, the Irish, beside Indian and Indian ocean communities and the Gulf Region - East European exile/refuge communities, resources in London Polish and others, the biggest challenge those of our Seychelles community who can/would support such commitments. We had know Mr Robert Frichot reasonable well in Seychelles and all those who had studied in London their Association, his legal capacity and those Legal connections we had in then London, we also knew the Zanzibar Community and the Agha Khan Community in London . We also had contact with then Ghana President Rowling -beside the Ghana exile community in London.
