Kofi Annan Annan
Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general, swept through Congo this week trying to ensure that the elections do not reignite the nation's old conflicts. Mr. Annan met with all five men, encouraging anyone with political aspirations to join the race. He had a similar message as he encouraged Congo's powerbrokers to put statesmanship above personal ambition.
