Africa is plagued with many problems, dictatorship shouldn't be a part of it as it does not alter growth nor peace.

FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR ALL...

Thomas Sankara was a young Burkinabé Revolutionary and Head of State of the Republic of Upper Volta (later Burkina Faso) for a short period of time.

Sankara ascended the office of President following a Millitary Coup D'état and during this period he achieved more than what most African leaders could.

He was a pan-Africanist who was largely supported and was seen as a legendary figure of revolution.

He spoke against Neo-colonialism and foreign penetration of Africa by granting struggling nations loans and aids, he once said:

"The poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting"

Sankara ruled and triumphed within 1983 - 1987, during this period he was able to increase food production, making his country food self-sufficient, encouraged agriculture and distributed lands when needed to farmers and animal rearers.

He prioritized education, built hospitals, clinics, outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy.

He was able to vaccinate 2million children within a week to prevent and tackle infections that occurs/may at the early stage of a child.

All these was done without foreign aids or loans, he also reduced his salary and that of his ministers and refused luxuries meant for his office.

Sankara was a Marxist so he believed in equal representation, which made him to strip some tribal leaders of their customary powers and evenly distributed resources across the country.

In October 1987, Sankara was murdered by his close friend and comrade, Blaise Compaoré who went on to rule the country for more than two decades till he was ushered out by the 2014 Uprising in the country, Burkina Faso.

Sankara till date is referenced as an icon and symbol of revolution that history cannot forget.
