My Take

Modibo Sidibé fascinates me for the sheer range of his life. Born in Bamako in 1952, he started as a footballer, became a diplomat, served as a minister, and ultimately governed as Prime Minister of Mali from 2007 to 2011, educated in France at Reims and decorated with the Legion of Honour. A man who once chased a ball ending up steering a country is not a story you hear often. West African politics rarely gets a close read from outside, so I want this kind of multidimensional figure remembered. What pulls me in isn't the titles but the human breadth, one person carrying so many different roles.
