Remembering when Boutros Boutros-Ghali went on Da Ali G Show

Remembering when Boutros Boutros-Ghali went on Da Ali G Show

Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali has died age 93.

His career began in Cairo where he worked as a professor of international law before he was appointed deputy foreign minister, later becoming the sixth secretary general of the United Nations.

He was the first Arab to be appointed to the UN’s highest position.

While he will be remembered for his efforts during the UN relief operation in Somalia, the break-up of Yugoslavia and the Rwandan Genocide, here's a reminder of his lighter side...

He once appeared on Ali G, where he gave his thoughts on Disney Land and said:

I am Boutros Boutros Ghali, put down your guns and listen to Bob Marley.
