Faces Of Africa - Sankara's Ghost

27 years on and Thomas Sankara's legacy still lives on. Sankara was a profound leader with deep love for his country, Burkina Faso. But he would not live long enough to see his vision change his country for better. He was assassinated. "Faces of Africa" takes you through Sankara's journey and how his ideas have stuck in the minds of the young generation, now seeking to resuscitate the country's economic and political status.

    @@davidtayo3643 And the betrayal of a close friend is something that many revolutionists have faced. Mao was betrayed by lin biao, Allende by Pinochet, so on and so forth. The road chosen by a revolutionist is harsh, where one was challenged by both the pressure of the capitalist world, and the internal struggle of his own teammates. Along this road, many have succeeded, while many more have fallen. Therefore it is not any race that should be blamed for the failure of a revolution, but rather the conservative forces and corrupted individuals. Like Sankara, Mao, or any communist, we all have faith in the people. Up till today, Africa is still plagued by imperialist influence and echoes of colonialist exploitation. The people need to be educated, motivated, and then united. An idea needs to be understood before it can be supported. Since betrayals are almost bond to occur in revolutions, the best solution is to build an organization that is strong enough to withstand such betrayal. Which, unfortunately, both the Sanbkara and black panther failed to create

    Am watching for the 5th time and still mourning my President. Much love and respect from Kenya. We the Sankara sons are still carrying on with his ideology. France must be kicked out of Afrika together with her French language.

    As a Chinese, I used to work in Europe. To be objective. People who know modern history generally dislike Britain and France. The world knows Gandhi in India and Mandela in South Africa, but few people know Sankara, a great communist soldier. Especially France, which can't even beat Vietnam, always bullies Africa.

    Sankara and the actual Black Panther party were equally revolutionary, unfortunately there were all brutally murdered by the white imperialist states. Hollywood even made the black panther into a incredibely stupid fictional hero movie just to misrepresnt their lagacy

    @Simo Zulu 2Pac was far from an "American somebody" he was born into a family of Black Panthers and held revolutionary politics. As his fame grew, U.S intelligence focused on neutralizing him. Just listen to his first album

    The more I read and watch about this man, the more I appreciate him and what he wanted to do for Burkina Faso. Of course, he was human so had flaws, but he did not deserve to be killed at all. I’m glad justice has finally has been served after 35 years.
