Since the start of his mandate at the head of the United Nations, Kofi Annan has been confronted with many hotbeds of clashes on the ground.
If the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States and the wars that the latter will launch in retaliation, first against Afghanistan and then against Iraq accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction, occupy all the global headlines , Kofi Annan is concerned about another crisis unfolding this time on the African continent.
