Businessman and politician, son of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
Kojo Adeyemo Annan was born in July 1973 in Geneva, Switzerland. His father was a Ghanaian political figure Kofi Annan, future UN Secretary General (1997-2006) and mother, Nigerian Titi Alakija. Kojo had Native sister, Ama. In the late 70s, his father divorced Titi and moved to Switzerland, taking the children with him. After - he married Nana Maria, a citizen of Switzerland. At the same time, Kojo Annan also had an adopted sister, Nina Gronsted de Groot.
At one time, Kojo Annan (Kojo Annan) received primary and secondary education in the UK - in primary school Rydal Preparatory School and Rendcomb College, after which he returned to Switzerland and enrolled at Keele University.
After graduating from university, Kojo went to Nigeria and became the director of Petroleum Projects International, which flourished in the oil and gas market. West Africa. From 1995 to 1997, Kojo Annan worked as an employee of Cotecna Inspection SA. Some dark facts of his biography were connected with Kojo's activities in this company, which are supposedly connected with Kojo's father, Kofi Annan. The fact is that in 2005, the American Congress and an independent commission of Paul Volcker (Paul Volcker), with the submission of sensational statements by the English newspaper Financial Times and the Italian magazine Il Sole 24 Ore, investigated the humanitarian program Oil in exchange for food” (NOP). This program began in 1996 and consisted in the fact that during the economic blockade of Iraq, the latter had the right to change oil for different kinds products and products. So it was Cotecna Inspection SA that oversaw this program. In 2005, the Volcker Commission found that, thanks to the actions of Cotecna Inspection SA, the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein earned about twenty billion dollars from the NOP. On the unofficial account of Kojo Annan (Kojo Annan) in the Swiss bank "Coutts", the commission found 300 thousand dollars. It turned out that although Kojo left Cotecna Inspection SA in 1997, he continued to work as its consultant until 1998, and received a salary in it until 2004.
Naturally, neither Kojo himself nor his father admits their connection with the machinations of Cotecna Inspection SA under the NOP program. Whatever it was, in 2006, Kofi Annan left the post of UN Secretary General, and since then there has been very little information about his son, Kojo Annan.

An excerpt characterizing Annan, Kofi– And our teacher said today that there is no soul at all, and all talk about it is just the priests’ inventions in order to “undermine the happy psyche Soviet man"... Why are they lying to us, dad? I blurted out in one breath. “Because this whole world in which we live here is built precisely on a lie ...” Father answered very calmly. - Even the word - SOUL - is gradually disappearing from circulation. Or rather, they “leave” him ... Look, they used to say: heartbreaking, heart to soul, heart warmer, heartbreaking, soulful, open the soul, etc. And now it is being replaced - painful, friendly, padded jacket, responsive, need ... Soon there will be no soul left in the Russian language ... And the language itself has become different - mean, faceless, dead ... I know you didn’t notice, Svetlenkaya Dad smiled softly. - But this is only because you were already born with him the way he is today ... And before he was unusually bright, handsome, rich! .. Truly sincere ... Now sometimes I don’t feel like writing, - dad was silent for a few seconds, thinking about something of his own, and immediately added indignantly. – How can I express my “I” if they send me a list (!), Which words can be used, and which are “a relic of the bourgeois system” ... Wildness ... “Then, is it better to study on your own than to go to school?” I asked puzzled. - No it's mine small man, you have to go to school. And without giving me a chance to protest, he continued. - At school, they give you the "grains" of your foundation - mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., which I simply would not have had time to teach you at home. And without these “seeds”, unfortunately, you won’t be able to grow your “mental harvest”... – Dad smiled. – But first you will definitely have to thoroughly “sift” these “seeds” from husks and rotten seeds ... And what your “harvest” will turn out to be will depend only on you yourself ... Life is a complicated thing, you see .. And sometimes it's not so easy to stay on the surface ... without going to the bottom. But there's nowhere to go, right? - Dad patted me on the head again, for some reason he was sad ... - So think - whether to be one of those who are told how you should live or be one of those who think for themselves and look for their own path .. True, for this they beat on the head very thoroughly, but on the other hand, you will always wear it proudly raised. So think carefully before you decide what you like best... - Why, when I say what I think at school, the teacher calls me an upstart? It's so insulting!.. I never try to be the first to answer, on the contrary, I prefer when they don't touch me... But if they ask, I have to answer, right, right? And for some reason, very often they don’t like my answers ... What can I do, dad? - Well, this, again, is the same question - do you want to be yourself or do you want to say what is required of you and live in peace? Again, you have to choose... But they don't like your answers because they don't always match those they have already prepared, and which are always the same for everyone. - How are they the same? I can't think the way they want to...? People can't think the same?! “You are mistaken, my Light One… That’s exactly what they want – that we all think and act the same… That’s the whole morality…” – But this is wrong, dad! .. – I was indignant. - And you take a closer look at your school friends - do they often say something different from what is written? - I was embarrassed ... he was again, as always, right. “That's because their parents teach them to be just good and obedient students and get good grades. But they don’t teach them to think... Perhaps because they didn’t think much themselves... Or maybe also because fear has already taken root too deeply in them... So move your convolutions, my Svetlenkaya, to find for yourself, what is more important to you - your grades, or your own thinking. – Is it really possible to be afraid to think, dad?.. After all, no one hears our thoughts?.. Why then be afraid? “They won’t hear you… But each mature thought forms your consciousness, Svetlenkaya.” And when your thoughts change, you change with them too... And if your thoughts are correct, then someone may very, very much not like them. Not all people like to think, you see. A lot of people prefer to put it on the shoulders of others, like you, while they themselves remain only "executors" of other people's desires for the rest of their lives. And happiness for them if the same “thinkers” do not fight for power, because then it’s not real human values that come into play, but lies, bragging, violence, and even crime, if they want to get rid of those who think with them " out of place…” Therefore, thinking can be very dangerous, my Light One. And everything depends only on whether you will be afraid of it or prefer your human honor to fear ... I climbed up to my father on the sofa and curled up next to him, imitating the (very dissatisfied) Grishka. Next to dad, I always felt very secure and peaceful. It seemed that nothing bad could get to us, just as nothing bad could happen to me when I was next to him. Which, of course, could not be said about the disheveled Grishka, since he also adored the hours spent with dad and could not stand it when someone invaded these hours ... He hissed at me very unfriendly and showed with his whole appearance that it was better I wish I could get out of here as soon as possible... I laughed and decided to leave him to quietly enjoy such a dear pleasure for him, and she went to warm up a little - to play snowballs in the yard with the neighbor's guys. I was counting down the days and hours until my tenth birthday, feeling almost “all grown up”, but, to my great shame, I was not able to forget my “birthday surprise” for a minute, which, of course, is nothing. nothing positive added to my very “adulthood” ... I, like all children in the world, adored gifts ... And now for days on end I wondered what it could be, what, in my grandmother’s opinion, I should have “really liked” with such confidence? .. But the wait was not so long, and very soon it was fully confirmed that it was very worth doing it ... Finally, my "birthday" morning was cold, sparkling and sunny, as befits a real holiday. The air “burst” from the cold with colored stars and literally “ringed”, forcing pedestrians to move faster than usual ... For all of us, going out into the yard, it was breathtaking, and steam literally poured from “everything living” around, funny making everyone look like multi-colored steam locomotives hurrying in different directions... After breakfast, I simply could not sit still and followed my mother with a “tail”, waiting for when I would finally see my long-awaited “surprise”. To my great surprise, my mother went with me to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door ... Despite the fact that our neighbor was a very pleasant person, what relation she could have to my birthday remained a mystery to me ... - Ah, our "holiday" girl has come! Opening the door, the neighbor said cheerfully. - Well, let's go, Blizzard is waiting for you. And then my legs literally buckled ... Blizzard (or rather - in Lithuanian, Puga) was an amazingly beautiful neighbor's horse, on which I was very often allowed to ride. And I just adored her! .. Everything was beautiful in this wonderful horse - and appearance, and her sensitive "horse" soul, and calm, reliable character. In my opinion, she was generally the most beautiful and most wonderful horse in the world! .. She was silver-gray in color (what was also called gray-haired), with snow-white long tail, all "strewn" with light gray and white apples. When I came, she always greeted me, poking her surprisingly soft nose into my shoulder, as if to say: - Well, I'm so good, take me for a ride !!! She had a very beautiful muzzle, very graceful, with huge, soft, kind eyes that seemed to understand everything. And it would be just a "crime" not to love her... Despite the fact that our yard was very large, and it was always full of all kinds of domestic "living creatures", we could not keep a horse for the simple reason that it was not so easy to buy it. An Arabian stallion was very expensive for us (by the standards of the time), because my dad at that time worked in a newspaper much fewer hours than usual (because, by common agreement of the family, he was busy writing plays for the Russian drama theater), and therefore We didn't have much money at the time. And although it was already the right time for me to really learn horse riding, the only opportunity to do this was to ask to sometimes go for a walk with Blizzard, who for some reason also loved me very much and always went riding with me with pleasure. |

The hounds had just been brought in, Nikolai heard the rare rut of the dog known to him - Voltorna; other dogs joined him, now falling silent, then again starting to drive. A minute later, a voice was heard from the island on the fox, and the whole flock, having fallen down, drove along the screwdriver, in the direction of the greenery, away from Nikolai. He saw galloping red-capped snipers along the edges of the overgrown ravine, he even saw dogs, and every second he expected a fox to appear on the other side, in the greenery. The hunter, who was standing in the pit, set off and released the dogs, and Nikolai saw a red, low, strange fox, which, having fluffed out a pipe, hurriedly rushed through the greenery. The dogs began to sing to her. Here they approached, here the fox began to wag in circles between them, more and more often making these circles and circling around him with a fluffy pipe (tail); and then someone flew white dog, and after it black, and everything was mixed up, and the dogs, having separated their backsides, slightly hesitantly, became a star. Two hunters jumped up to the dogs: one in a red cap, the other, a stranger, in a green caftan. "What it is? thought Nicholas. Where did this hunter come from? It's not uncle's." The hunters fought off the fox and for a long time, slowly, stood on foot. Near them, horses with their protrusions of saddles, and dogs lay on poles. The hunters waved their hands and did something with the fox. From there the sound of a horn was heard - the agreed signal of a fight. - This is the Ilaginsky hunter, something is rebelling with our Ivan, - said the aspirant Nikolai. Nikolay sent a stirrup to call his sister and Petya to him, and walked at a pace to the place where the hounds were gathering the hounds. Several hunters galloped to the scene of the fight. Nikolai got off his horse, stopped near the hounds with Natasha and Petya, who had driven up, waiting for information about how the matter would end. A fighting hunter with a fox in toroks rode out from behind the edge of the forest and rode up to the young master. He took off his hat from a distance and tried to speak respectfully; but he was pale, breathless, and his face was vicious. One of his eyes was blackened, but he probably didn't know it. - What did you have there? Nikolai asked. - How, from under our hounds, he will poison! Yes, and my mousey bitch caught it. Come on, sue! Enough for the fox! I'll roll him like a fox. Here she is, in the torso. And this is what you want? ... - the hunter said, pointing to the dagger and probably imagining that he was still talking with his enemy. Nikolai, without talking to the hunter, asked his sister and Petya to wait for him and went to the place where this hostile Ilaginsky hunt was. The victorious hunter rode into the crowd of hunters and there, surrounded by sympathetic curious, told his feat. The fact was that Ilagin, with whom the Rostovs were in a quarrel and trial, hunted in places that, according to custom, belonged to the Rostovs, and now, as if on purpose, he ordered to drive up to the island where the Rostovs hunted, and allowed his hunter to poison from under other people's hounds. Nikolai never saw Ilagin, but, as always, in his judgments and feelings, not knowing the middle ground, according to rumors about the riot and self-will of this landowner, he hated him with all his heart and considered him his worst enemy. Angered and agitated, he was now riding towards him, tightly clutching a rapnik in his hand, in full readiness for the most decisive and dangerous activities against your enemy. As soon as he rode beyond the ledge of the forest, he saw a fat gentleman in a beaver cap on a beautiful black horse, accompanied by two stirrups, advancing towards him. Instead of an enemy, Nikolai found in Ilagina a representative, courteous gentleman, who especially wanted to get acquainted with the young count. Having approached Rostov, Ilagin raised his beaver cap and said that he was very sorry for what had happened; that orders to punish the hunter, who allowed himself to poison from under other people's dogs, asks the count to be acquainted and offers him his places for hunting. Natasha, who was afraid that her brother would do something terrible, rode not far behind him in excitement. Seeing that the enemies bowed friendly, she rode up to them. Ilagin raised his beaver cap even higher in front of Natasha and, smiling pleasantly, said that the countess represented Diana both in her passion for hunting and in her beauty, about which he had heard a lot. Ilagin, in order to make amends for his hunter, urged Rostov to go into his eel, which was a mile away, which he saved for himself and in which, according to him, hares were poured. Nikolai agreed, and the hunt, which had doubled in size, moved on. It was necessary to go through the fields to the Ilaginsky eel. The hunters leveled out. The gentlemen traveled together. Uncle, Rostov, Ilagin secretly glanced at other people's dogs, trying not to let others notice it, and anxiously looked for rivals among these dogs for their dogs. Rostov was especially struck by her beauty, a small purebred, narrow, but with steel muscles, a thin forceps (muzzle) and rolling black eyes, a red-spotted bitch in Ilagin's pack. He heard about the playfulness of the Ilaginsky dogs, and in this beautiful bitch he saw a rival to his Milka. In the middle of a sedate conversation about the harvest of this year, which Ilagin started, Nikolai pointed out to him his red-spotted bitch. - You have a good bitch! he said casually. - Rezva? - This? Yes, this one - kind dog, catches, ”Ilagin said in an indifferent voice about his red-footed Yerza, for whom a year ago he gave his neighbor three families of courtyards. - So you, Count, do not boast of being hammered? He continued the conversation. And considering it polite to repay the young count in the same way, Ilagin examined his dogs and chose Milka, who caught his eye with her width. - You have a good black-pie - okay! - he said. “Yes, nothing, he’s jumping,” answered Nikolai. “If only a hardened hare would run into the field, I would show you what kind of dog this is!” he thought, and turning to the stirrup said that he gives a ruble to someone who suspects, that is, finds a lying hare. “I don’t understand,” Ilagin continued, “how other hunters are envious of the beast and dogs. I'll tell you about myself, Count. It amuses me, you know, to take a ride; now you’ll move in with such a company ... what’s better already (he again took off his beaver cap in front of Natasha); and this is to count the skins, how many he brought - I don’t care! - Well, yes. - Or so that I would be offended that someone else's dog would catch, and not mine - I just would like to admire the persecution, right, count? Then I judge... - Atu - his, - a drawn-out cry of one of the stopped greyhounds was heard at that time. He stood on a semi-mound of stubble, raising a rapnik, and once again repeated drawlingly: - A - that - him! (This sound and the raised rapnik meant that he sees a hare lying in front of him.) “Ah, I suspect, I think,” Ilagin said casually. - Well, let's go, count! - Yes, you need to drive up ... yes - well, together? Nikolai answered, peering at Yerza and at the red Uncle Rugai, at his two rivals, with whom he had never yet managed to equalize his dogs. “Well, how will my Milka be cut off from my ears!” he thought, moving towards the hare next to his uncle and Ilagin. - Mother? Ilagin asked, moving towards the suspicious hunter, and not without excitement, looking around and whistling to Yerza... “And you, Mikhail Nikanorych?” he turned to his uncle. Uncle rode frowning. - Why should I meddle, because yours is a pure march! - in the village they paid for the dog, your thousandths. You measure yours, and I'll take a look! - Scold! On, on, he shouted. - Scold! he added, involuntarily expressing by this diminutive his tenderness and hope placed in this red dog. Natasha saw and felt the excitement hidden by these two old men and her brother, and she herself was worried. The hunter stood on a half-hill with a raised rapnik, the gentlemen drove up to him at a step; the hounds, walking on the very horizon, turned away from the hare; hunters, not gentlemen, also drove off. Everything moved slowly and sedately. - Where is the head? Nikolai asked, driving up a hundred paces to the suspicious hunter. But before the hunter had time to answer, the hare, sensing frost by tomorrow morning, could not lie down and jumped up. A flock of hounds on bows, with a roar, rushed downhill after a hare; from all sides, the greyhounds, who were not in packs, rushed to the hounds and to the hare. All those slow-moving hunters-snipers shouting: stop! knocking down dogs, greyhounds shouting: atu! guiding the dogs, they galloped across the field. Calm Ilagin, Nikolai, Natasha and uncle flew, not knowing how and where, seeing only dogs and a hare, and fearing only to lose sight of the persecution even for a moment. The hare was caught hardened and frisky. Jumping up, he did not immediately gallop, but moved his ears, listening to the scream and clatter that suddenly resounded from all sides. He jumped about ten times slowly, letting the dogs approach him, and finally, having chosen a direction and realizing the danger, he laid his ears and rushed at full speed. He was lying on the stubble, but in front there were greenery, on which it was marshy. The two dogs of the suspicious hunter, who were the closest of all, were the first to look and pawn behind the hare; but they had not yet moved far towards him, when the Ilaginskaya red-spotted Yerza flew out from behind them, approached the dog at a distance, with terrible speed gave, aiming at the tail of the hare and thinking that she had grabbed him, rolled head over heels. The hare arched its back and pushed even harder. A broad-assed, black-spotted Milka came out from behind Yerza and quickly began to sing to the hare. |
