"Ceux qui nous ont conduits à l'endettement ont joué comme dans un casino; quand ils gagnaient, il n'y avait point de débat, maintenant qu'ils ont perdu au jeu, ils nous exigent le remboursement; et l'on parle de crise. Non! Monsieur le Président: ils ont joué, ils ont perdu, c'est la règle du jeu, la vie continue!"
- Thomas #Sankara, Discours sur la #dette, 29 juillet 1987

Marcel Cartier - Standing Upright (Thomas Sankara Tribute)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5EmIm3HNRc&ab_channel=MarcelCartier

#Thomas #Sankara, the #revolutionary #leader who transformed what was Upper Volta to #Burkina #Faso. Nearly 39 years since his untimely death, his #legacy continues to live on across #Africa and the #world.

⬆️
L'assassinat de #Sankara va romandre sense jutjar durant més de 34 anys.
Arran de la des-classificació per part del govern francès d'uns documents relatius al complot, la justícia del país va reobrir el cas, atès que es creia que al darrere del cop hi havia l'Estat francès, Costa d'Ivori, altres països francòfons de la regió, Líbia i la CIA estatunidenca.
En total es van imputar 14 persones, entre elles l'acusat principal, #BlaiseCampaoré que el va succeir a la presidència.

Il est fréquent depuis qq temps, pour les partisans des putschistes ouest-africains, de se référer à Thomas #Sankara pour justifier la prise du pouvoir par les armes. Mais n’est pas Sankara qui veut ! Biographe du révolutionnaire burkinabé, Brian J. Peterson rappelle que sa formation intellectuelle s’est nourrie de nombreuses expériences personnelles, d’innombrables lectures et de rencontres déterminantes, et qu’il n’est pas arrivé au pouvoir par hasard. #Putschs #Afrique https://afriquexxi.info/Thomas-Sankara-une-revolution-murement-reflechie

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.

Alors qu’Ibrahim Traoré souhaite que les restes de l’ancien président soient inhumés au Conseil de l’Entente où il a été assassiné, les proches de Thomas #Sankara s’y opposent et estiment que cela représenterait « une seconde mort » #BurkinaFaso #afrique

Reading #sankara's women's liberation and the African freedom struggle. Definitely some outdated view expression but surprisingly forward for early 80s thought.

“Présidents d’Afrique” by Didier Awadi is a collection of great speeches by African (or of African descent) presidents, activists, scientists, and thinkers set to #music. You’ll hear Thomas #Sankara (#BurkinaFaso), Sékou #Touré (#Guinea), Nelson #Mandela (#SouthAfrica) and many others who dared to dream of what #Africa could be. #BlackJoy #BlackMastodon

Ce 21 décembre marquait le 73e anniversaire de naissance du Capitaine Thomas #Sankara
Cette fresque de 33 mètres de haut, peinte ici à Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), rend hommage au révolutionnaire assassiné en 1987, à l’âge de 37 ans.

#Sankara had only been in power for 4 years before he was assassinated. Despite his short tenure as leader of #BurkinaFaso, he has a long list of impressive achievements. On the occasion of what would have been his 73rd birthday, we break down some of his major policy feats. https://twitter.com/african_stream/status/1605541428360204289

Smash the state and everything but I’m still in the tank for Thomas #Sankara so happy birthday comrade still miss ya

Heute wäre der 73. Geburtstag von Thomas #Sankara. Dieses Jahr wurde endlich sein Mörder zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt.

Sankara bleibt eine Legende ✊🏿

“Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women’s silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt.”

#BurkinaFaso #Revolution

“Our revolution in Burkina Faso draws on the totality of man's experiences since the first breath of humanity. We wish to be the heirs of all the revolutions of the world, of all the liberation struggles of the peoples of the Third World."
