World figures have been paying tribute to the former UN
secretary-general and Nobel laureate Kofi Annan, who has died at
the age of 80. HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi spoke to him in April at
a special event to mark his birthday and the tenth anniversary of
the Kofi Annan Foundation. In a career spanning six decades at
the United Nations, he held several senior positions including
two terms as Secretary-General. There were high points such as
the award of the Nobel Peace Prize as well as tragic events such
as the Rwandan genocide and the Srebrenica massacre of Bosnian
Muslims. But what were his biggest worries and did he have any
regrets?
