Happy Birthday, Thomas Sankara

in the words of @[email protected]:

A kind man, one who made his country food self-suficent, vaccinated all children against polio and mengitis, planted 10 million trees, started a giant literacy campaign and did amazing work for womens rights. As a reward he got killed by the french and the US.

An amazing man, one in a long line of amazing persons killed for daring to work towards a better future for everyone.

Never forget the sacrifices of our past comrades.

Here's some reading by him:

Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983–87

Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle

And this one is about him:

A Certain Amount of Madness: The Life, Politics and Legacies of Thomas Sankara

I maintain that he was too pure for this hellworld and his only mistake was not doing political purges. :sankara-salute:
