[PHOTOS] Kofi Annan State Burial In Ghana

Late Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary general was buried today in Ghana and we have photos from the event.

World dignitaries laid to rest former UN secretary general Kofi Annan in his native Ghana on Thursday, with calls to keep alive the legacy of a “stubborn optimist” to create a better, more peaceful world.

His widow Nane Maria led hundreds of mourners, including world leaders past and present, traditional rulers and global royalty, and called her husband an “extraordinary” person who had a “joy of life”.
