FouIn 1987, African revolutionary Thomas Sankara was killed in a Western-backed coup.
After becoming President of Burkina Faso in 1983, he became a symbol of African liberation.
He implemented a program influenced by Marxism-Leninism, pan-Africanism, and women’s liberation.
However, forces within the state collaborated with Western powers to overthrow Sankara and roll back the societal gains that had been won up until 1987.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1987, #ThomasSankara, revolutionary leader of #BurkinaFaso, was murdered in a #coup by Blaise Compaore, whose rule was deemed more acceptable by the capitalist/imperialist powers. He was finally convicted in 2022 for killing the Marxist leader and gaoled.

Jens NotroffThe 3rd part of @thecontinent #MuseumOfMemory series covers the Thomas Sankara #Mausoleum in Ouagadougou, almost resembling a fantasy Wakanda building come to life. Unveiled in May, the mausoleum - meant to be more of a venue, a meeting place rather than just a memorial - is part of a wider effort to honour the legacy of #BurkinaFaso's former revolutionary leader #ThomasSankara, who led the country between 1983 and 1987.
