This is an interesting article on Didier Drogba.
Who is Didier Drogba? He is the #1 striker for my beloved Chelsea team. (They play football, err, soccer, in the English Premier League.) He is from the Ivory Coast, and has been putting in efforts to end the civil war there. He set up a match for the National Team to play in the rebel control area of the country, and because of this may have ended the civil war there. Read the article, I think it is fascinating for it look on war, celebrity, and power.
