Ahead of todayβs first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin DΕΎeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:
βIn the end, we survived. Looking back, Iβm amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego.Β
For nothing.Β
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I donβt want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.β
