    The UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and President Jerry Rawlings opened an
    exhibit on Friday entitled "UN Peacekeeping: A Half Century of Experience," marking UN peacekeeping and honouring Ghana's efforts to support it around the world, the UN reported.

    During the ceremony, Annan also presented three plaques to
    Ghana's government, one in honour of its dead peacekeepers, another to the
    armed forces and a third to the police. He commended the courage and
    professionalism of Ghanaian troops, honouring the 98 who died while serving
