So it all started when I saw Kofi Annon in the Press Room two days ago, I had taken this photo. I pointed him out to Loic, and we followed him through the halls. Eventually Loic tried to get him on camera, but Kofi was pretty much gone by then – we may have actually caught some of that on camera. The next morning Loic was called to come to the Global Campaign for Climate Justice where Mr. Annan was speaking, where he made contact with his assistant. Loic had helped gain a lot of moment for the Campaign online, so they were happy to give us an interview that evening. After a few hours of prep by Loic, some running between hotels, and a happy welcome by Kofi Annan – we ended up with this interview.

That’s amazing. Way to make it happen! Thanks for sharing it so promptly.
Kofi is an amazing man. I’m glad we have smart people like that in influential positions. But he is right, we all have a responsibility to apply the pressure we can to our representatives in government.
It takes 2 minutes. Request helicopters for Darfur NOW:
