Thomas Sankara

Allow me to share with you videos of this great African Hero named Thomas Sankara.

Thomas Sankara was President in Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. He was very charismatic and started a "revolution" in his country, improving public health and women rights. Because of his positions against neo-colonialism he antagonized Western interests in the country. He was killed on October 15, 1987 by his close friend. He lived a simple life. He was a genuine African Hero.
