Thomas #Sankara reburied in #BurkinaFaso his remains, and those of the 12 people killed with him, reburied at the site of their assassination in #Ouagadougou #Africa #politics #BlackMastodon

Sankara’s family was happy that he was finally laid to rest, but said the place of burial is like a slap in the face because of the horrors that occurred there.

Family asked government to bury him elsewhere, but told it was at the army’s discretion since he was a soldier.
