Drogba is credited with playing a vital role in bringing peace to his country.After Côte d'Ivoire qualified for the 2006 World Cup, Drogba made a desperate plea to the combatants, asking them to lay down their arms, a plea which was answered with a cease fire after 5 years of civil war. Drogba later helped move an African Cup of Nations qualifier to the rebel stronghold of Bouake; a move that helped confirm the peace process.His involvement in the peace process lead to Drogba being named as one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine.
