"I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory. You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future."

Thomas Isdore Noel Sankara

I dont know the man, he never spent enough time for us to judge him, or leave a legacy.

But if an african leader of the 80's said those words and he meant it.

Then I say the imperialists caused the death of one of Africas great leaders.

@Alexmakaay

Died? Wasn't the case cold blooded murder assasination by his sly second in command "Judas" old chum

Anyway he was a young man, a visionary, seemingly sincere and had good intentions but was ahead of his time.

Sadly his idealism costed him his life.

He was considered expendable at home and indirectly by the "powers that be" abroad.

Was gotten rid off in a cowardly & brutal manner because he was ruffling feathers

An admirable man? RIP

Sankara change the name from upper volter to Burkina Faso(Land of Upright People).

He started very well compare to many AFRICAN theives.

He never changed is battered car and his mother remain road-side food seller while his father always ride his old bicycle to his farm.

He showed to all you dont have to steal to be a leader in Africa, sadly, 1987 he was killed by his trusted friend Blaise Compaore who remains President till today and still full supported by AU and WEST.

Nobody in AFRICA or WEST condemn this brutal killing rather they backed Compaore!
