A kind man, one who made his country food self-suficent, vaccinated all children against polio and mengitis, planted 10 million trees, started a giant literacy campaign and did amazing work for womens rights. As a reward he got killed by the french and the US.
An amazing man, one in a long line of amazing persons killed for daring to work towards a better future for everyone.
Never forget the sacrifices of our past comrades.
:sankara-salute:
Rip. A true hero, don't forget the US killed him because he dared challenge the colonialist-capitalist grip on Africa.
Most of the fault for Sankara's death doesn't actually lie with the U.S, but rather :france-cool:
As Latin American is to the U.S, North Africa is to France, arguably worse. Much of the region is forced under the neocolonial CFA France currency , and since 1963, 22 African Presidents have been assassinated by France (Sankara included).
It's why I'm annoyed when French people brag about not following the U.S into Iraq, but see absolutely no problem with this
