    Allow me to thank all those who've wished me a happy 80th birthday - especially the young people, whose passion and optimism should serve as an example to my generation. You are never too young to lead nor too old to learn, so I look forward to continuing to learn from you all!

    I deeply regret today’s decision by the US President breaking with international consensus on #Jerusalem. I hope Palestinians and regional Arab powers will react with restraint, and US allies will do all they can to realign policy with international norms. kofiannan.ch/2iWZhmG

    .@winniemandela was a voice of defiance who refused to be silenced. Her life was a testament to both the strengths and weaknesses of the human character. Her courage & resilience inspired a generation of activists, both in #SouthAfrica and around the world kofiannan.ch/2Egfp7C

    As I have said before and I repeat here now: drugs have destroyed many lives, but wrong government policies have destroyed many more.

    I am shocked and angered by the recent media reports of African migrants being sold as slaves in Libyan auctions. The Libyan authorities must take urgent steps to eradicate these abuses, and the international community must provide necessary support. kofiannan.ch/2zZcwKg
