Kofi Anan,Frontman?

Mutumwa D. Mawere asks:

Could it be that Kofi Annan, like many of us, was so scared of what he would do after his tenure at the UN that he forgot to use his powerful position to empower his fellow Africans? Could he not have found sanctuary in uniquely African-conceived, structured and financed ideas instead of becoming a spokesman for ideas that may well be his, but are financed by Gates and Rockefeller money?
