In just four years, he transformed it: – He redistributed land from elites to farmers – Rejected IMF loans and foreign interference – Vaccinated millions of children – Promoted women’s rights – And even changed the country’s name from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso — Land of Honest Men But his honesty and defiance of foreign powers came at a cost. In 1987, Sankara was assassinated in a coup led by his closest ally — and welcomed by foreign interests. This is the story of one of Africa’s most visionary leaders, silenced for refusing to sell out his people. #ThomasSankara #BurkinaFaso Sun, 19 Apr 2026 04:35:09 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/09d4689d-2907-4d63-924b-1ad6e4779fb8 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
