Boutros-Ghali came from a wealthy family and his grandfather was Egypt&#8217;s prime minister until his assassination in 1910. Before the United Nations, he had worked in the administrations of Egyptian presidents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak. He was able to claim to be both Arab and African. He also was a Coptic Christian from a mainly Muslim country and married an Egyptian Jew, who converted to his religion. He played a prominent role in the subsequent Camp David accords on the Middle East. He was the architect of Egypt&#8217;s return to the center of affairs in the Organization of African Unity, the Nonaligned Movement and the Islamic Conference Organization.</p>
<p>Often criticized for the failure of the UN to act during the 1994 Rwandan genocide and for not pushing hard enough for U.N. intervention to end Angola&#8217;s civil war, which at the time was one of the longest running conflicts in the world. He famously told Somali warlords and clan leaders to stop accusing the United Nations and him of colonialism, adding that Somalis should be worried that former colonial powers would ignore their plight if they continued to fight.<br />
<i><br />
<span style="color:purple;">&#8220;The Cold War is finished,&#8221;</span></i> he said.<i> <span style="color:purple;"><br />
&#8220;Nobody is interested in the poor countries in Africa or anywhere in the</span></i><span style="color:purple;"> <i>world. They can easily forget Somalia in 24 hours.&#8221;</i></span></p>
