Kofi Annan is from ghana.
On December 13, 1996, Annan was selected by the United Nations Security Council to be Secretary-General, and was confirmed four days later by vote of the General Assembly. Annan took the oath of office without delay, starting his first term as Secretary-General on January 1, 1997. Annan replaced outgoing Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt, becoming the first person from a black African nation to serve as Secretary-General.
Annan's tenure as Secretary-General was renewed on January 1, 2002, in an unusual deviation from informal policy. The office usually rotates among the continents, with two terms each; since Annan's predecessor Boutros-Ghali was also an African, Annan normally would have served only one term, indicating Annan's unusual popularity.

Ghana (born in Kumasi, which is in the north, and not far from the border with Côte d'Ivoire). His (present) wife is Swedish. And after he retires they plan to live in Vaud, Switzerland.
There are two ways they can do that: a Swedish citizen is entitled to live and work (and her spouse as well) anywhere within the European Union/European Economic Area/Switzerland. If they don't plan to work at all (even lecturing and writing books), there is a provision of Swiss law under which persons who have been employed by an international organization "in Switzerland" can retire there. There has been an official "interpretation" that since the UN has one of its headquarters in Geneva, Anan qualifies. That, apparently, is the basis he intends to use for his new residence.

Ghana.
But why this question now? You are late.
Kofy is no more in the forefront after Mr. Moon took over as new Secretary General.
Any way no doubts in he being a true gentleman.
