25 years ago, History went upside down in Burkina Faso when Thomas Sankara was overthrown by a villain called Blaise Compoare.
Sankara was a panafricanist, a man of integrity, a modest president ,in short an upright man.
In this video, he sermones then French President Mitterand after South african President Piter Botha went to Paris. << Botha is a criminal, a blood handed man whose trip to Paris is a stain on France,
and those who allowed this to happen should bear full responsibility before History. >> he said in front of Mitterand.
On October 15, 1987, around 4 p.m. GMT he was assassinated by his most trusted friend, Blaise Compaore' who connived with French secret service agent to do the dirty job.
