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 is probably my favorite communist revolutionary. Didn't seem to go too wild with repression, understood what needed to be done in his country, knew how to motivate people, etc. I've always liked his quote to never stop teaching people.

      And he lost in the end because he couldn't believe that his long time friend would betray him. Too pure for this world :sankara-salute:
