Hmm, it seems the vote is not without controversy:
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf claims victory, calls on Weah to concede
Weah files formal complaint
Open letter to George Weah
I have to admit that I don't know much about "King" Weah's politics. All I know is that he has done what few in his position ever think to do: give back to his own. I know he has long fought to better the position of his country and his people, and I definitely admire that. I just hope this doesn't turn into some sort of unrest or even worse--civil war.
An absolute legend of a player in his prime, and he's Methodist, too!
Thanks for the wider perspective, Derek! Fascinating stuff.
