-== Languages ==
-"Anna is fluent in English, French, Kru, other dialects of Akan, and other African languages."
-I'm not one to usually find racism in every nook and cranny of a sentence. But doesn't it seem a little wrong to write off his liguistic abilities with the phrase "African languages" instead of explicitly stating what those languages are? To say French is more important that Wolof or Zulu is a little imperialistic. Can somebody find out what the actual "african languages" he speaks are. Especially since he is an African and neither English or French are native to the continent and are of thus relatively low importance (and yes, I am aware that the working languages of the UN are French and English. Im refering to this all in a 'Kofi is a man from Africa' not 'Kofi ran the UN' sense)
