Kofi Annan: “U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan called the move unwise.”

People throughout the region and the world are deeply troubled by what is taking place. The level of violence is excessive and unacceptable by any standards. This cannot continue. The violence and the killing must stop and stop…

Yes, it is going to be tough. It is going to be difficult, but we have to have hope. Almost every Syrian I have met wants peace. They want the violence to stop. They want move on with their lives.

What is clear is that Africa and the least developed countries which are not so much responsible for the problem of climate change bear the greatest blunt.

Kofi Annan has been a friend of dictators throughout. I mean, there is something he says which is very remarkable as he prepared for his mission. He says we have to be careful we don't introduce a medicine that's worst than the disease.
