Ex-UN chief Annan to get state burial in home country Ghana
Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan will receive a state burial in his home country Ghana on September 13, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo said. Annan will be given a burial that "befits his status as a global icon, diplomat and statesman", he added. Annan, a Nobel Peace laureate, passed away in Switzerland earlier this month at the age of 80.
