How Ibrahim Traore is becoming the new thomas sankara.(Similarities Between Ibrahim Traore and Thomas Sankara) Thomas Sankara, born on December 21, 1949, was a charismatic and revolutionary leader who served as the president of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. His achievements included promoting women's rights, healthcare, education, and land reform. He also made efforts to eradicate corruption and dependency on foreign aid. However, his controversial death on October 15, 1987, which some believe was orchestrated by his former friend and colleague, Blaise Compaoré, has sparked ongoing debates and inquiries into the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise. Many people still believe his death was caused by France with whom He was trying to cut ties. Thomas Sankara changed the name of the Country from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, which meant ‘land of the Incorruptibles’. He believed the French system was corrupted and was only out to exploit and corrupt their people. That was his fight. He gave his life to that. But before Thomas Sankara’s death, he left a prophecy. He said, “While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas.” This prophecy indeed has come to pass. Just a few months after his controversial death a new baby was born. This baby would be named and grow up as Ibrahim Traore. The new president of Burkina Faso and the youngest president in Africa at just age 34.
