Annan, Kofi (b. 8 Apr. 1938). UN Secretary-General 1997– Born in the Ghanaian town of Kumasi, he studied economics, and in 1962 entered the civil service of the
UN. He interrupted his time there in 1971, when he obtained a master's in management at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology. He rose through the ranks of the UN, and in 1993 became Under-Secretary for Peace Management. He served as the UN special envoy in former
Yugoslavia, where he gained much respect from the nations involved in the peacekeeping efforts there. He succeeded the controversial
Boutros Gali, and established his reputation through his successful internal reforms of the UN's vast bureaucratic apparatus. While this helped overcome a central criticism especially of the US, Annan also urged greater support for less developed nations, particularly in Africa. He spoke out passionately about the
AIDS crisis there. Annan gained popularity through his diplomatic skills, his personal integrity, and his independence, and was re-elected to a second term in 2001.
