In memory of Thomas Sankara
It is important for today's generation to learn that although Sankara's sojourn on this earth was brief (1949-1987), as was his stay at the head of the Burkina Faso government (1983-1987), he managed to carry out his duty and fulfill his responsibilities to his people.
The former Burkina Faso head-of-state gave new hope to millions of voiceless Africans (both in Africa and in the diasporas), weary of watching a ceaseless parade of self-enriching robber barons, who pillage the coffers of their respective states.
Sankara believed and promoted a development that focused on taking charge of ones own destiny, to count on their own forces, and break free from domination. With Sankara's limited time as president of Burkina Faso he was able to embody this vision into his activities, and into the hearts and minds of Burkinabes. Anyone visiting the country will soon see this in the eyes of the people, the pride with which they carry their country and the hope they see in its future.
