Africa's Che Guevara: The Life of Thomas Sankara | I Gotta Story to Tell | Episode 14

Even in the year 2020, he sounds lightyears ahead of his time. Woww what a revolutionary leader. No wonder the colonialists eliminated him soo early. Yet he had so much more to offer. What he did in 4 years in his early 30’s 40 years ago in a place like West Africa still not possible in many parts of the world today. Yet we live in information age.

To seal this post of mine, Sankara is not Che, Sankara is just way too big for that, Sankara is Sankara the brightest example of what we should ALL follow, continue to rest in perfect peace O noble soldier.

I see that Sakara's political brilliance came from his heart, from the true love he had for his people and nation. To me, Sakara's murder is why great empathy leaders like Sakara do not hold public office, an ultimate fear of the same outcome. In the least, future people for all times can learn from Sakara's story, cry from his story, learn to be like Sakara, to continue his legacy.
