Former UN secretary-general, Kofi Annan, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for humanitarian work, has died aged 80.
Annan was the first black African to take up the role of the world’s top diplomat, serving two terms from 1997 to 2006.
He later served as the UN special envoy for Syria, leading efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
Annan’s tenure coincided with the Iraq War and the HIV/Aids pandemic.
