Well, today, we celebrate a shining counter-example to that idea: the seizure of power in Burkina Faso (then Upper Volta) by Pan-African visionary Thomas Sankara 40 years ago today. On August 4th, 1983, Sankara and his compatriots in the Popular Front changed their country’s history forever. This extraordinary day marks a new era, the triumph of the Burkinabe people’s aspirations for justice, equality and self-reliance, and the rise of a leader whose legacy continues to inspire the world. Sankara’s government swiftly implemented a transformative agenda to empower the Burkinabe people and foster a sense of national pride. A raft of radical reforms greatly boosted education and health, environmental conservation, and national self-sufficiency. Forty years later, the revolutionary spirit of this day is alive and well across the Sahel, where recent coups in Mali and Burkina Faso have brought about the expulsion of French forces, embassies and media - demands that emanated from the streets and were carried out by leaders Assimi Goïta and Ibrahim Traoré. And Niger too now looks poised for a radical change of direction after a military seizure of power. That leaves the question of why coups are even still necessary. Well, as Captain Sankara puts it in this clip - imperialism is a bad student; it never learns and keeps trying to repeat the same old mistakes! Now we must expel that student for good! #BurkinaFaso #PanAfrican #ThomasSankara #Empower #Environment #Conversation #Revolution #Sahel #Mali #French #Niger #AssimiGoïta #IbrahimTraoré
