Africa:In Memory of 'Stubborn Optimist' Kofi Annan

[New Era] Kofi Annan often described himself as a 'stubborn optimist'. Winston Churchill defined an optimist as one who "see the opportunity in every difficulty." Kofi Annan was, indeed, an eternal optimist who always faced seemingly insuperable challenges with such optimism that in the end, would lead to a solution. Kofi - whose name means born on Friday and his middle name Atta means twin - had a twin sister, Efua, who died in 1990.
