- A Ouagadougou court has sentenced former Burkinabe President Blaise Compaoré to life imprisonment for the murder of his predecessor, the revered Thomas Sankara.
The long-awaited verdict brings to close a six-month trial about the murder of Sankara who was assassinated on October 15, 1987.
Military prosecutors had requested a 30-year sentence for Compaoré, who was being tried alongside 13 others. Compaoré now lives in Ivory Coast and refused to take part in the trial.
Sankara, a revered pan-Africanist leader, was murdered alongside 12 others by a hit squad during a putsch that brought his friend and comrade-in-arms Compaoré to power.
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports.
#BurkinaFaso
Sankara was murdered for standing up to French neocolonialism.
Sankara was a hero and savior of African peoples. Burkina Faso was a model country under his leadership. And the traitors and imperialist agents destroyed the African uprising. It's a shame! The perpetrators need to be punished and many new Sankaras are needed.
Sanakar can never be killed, he lives in the hearts of every revolutionary
We are not dumb,Africans know who gave the order:Mitterand worked closely with Houphouet Boigny and Hassan 2 to terminate "this dangerous young man" and replace him with his best friend who fell for an old trick the colonizers have used many times before and since,they made a mistake because today there are millions of Sankaras in Africa and in the Diaspora,as the man himself once said:"you can kill a revolutionary but you cannot kill his ideas"
RIPOWER comrade SANKARA
Truth! Well said!
Well said.
There are still unforgettable memories of how badly Patrice loumba,sankara,omer almoukhtar,GADDAFI, and so many african legends was killed
Personally I’d like to see Obama Clinton bush Blair macron hanged in public they lie and had no right to kill the leaders of these countries also i back putin now he is fighting the same corrupt European politicians who rob and steal destroy country’s then claim to be good people
Abdi osman, Their Spirits Will Soon Ressurect into the People's Spirit of AFRICA, and Rise Up to Avenge Against All kinds of injustice. All Oppressors will brought to their Hellish Time.
You can’t silence truth, you can only delay justice. God never sleeps!
Nice quote ❤
Sankara teachings will live on forever.. naming my kid 'Isidore' has had me mentioning His name everyday..
It took 34years to finally deal with Blaise????? This us ridiculous. The Bakinabe people have really failed Sankara. The best that you can do is to go get him by force wherever he is.
At last justice was served, let him serve life jail term,
It's what happens when democracy is forced - corruption, lies and fake alibis.
I agree. He's long past due for that machete work, if you catch my drift.
He was toppled from power in october 2014. That's close to 8 years.
Bukina Faso should Learn from the best!!! Israeli covert forces strategically hunted down NAZIs after World War II.
You can kill a revolution but you cannot kill a revolutionary rip Thomas sankara
I was thinking of this quote the entire time I was watching the video ✊
@@ladyjustice169 the legend himself 2pac greatest artist of all time
Idiot. It's opposite words you are using
I thought it's the other way round. You can kill an idealist but you cannot kill the idea 💡.
its supposed to be the other way around
Wow wonderful reporting.
Opening up my eyes to what's happening half a continent away from me
The french where involved and must be brought Infront of the law also
The comment i was looking for, it did not just happend.
they prob gon lie and say they did nothing wrong lol
Blame France 🇫🇷
Revered throughout the world not just 'French speaking ' Africa.
He keeps saying popular in French speaking African countries. He is very very popular in my country Nigeria and we are English speaking
It's called "for lack of better word". But on flipside, congrats for being Nigerian on a topic involving the late great Sankara🎉🍭🏅🍛🍪🍼😒
In the United States too he is a real inspiration for true revolutionists.
Great move toward justice. Sad to hear Sankara being miniaturized by being called the "che Guevara of Africa" though
It's a pretty fitting comparison
The expression doesn't mean that he is less than the one he is being compared to. It can generally be said the other way around.
@@kylesmith4572 I can simply say Kyle Smith is intelligent rather than saying Kyle Smith is the Neil deGrasse Tyson of RUclips
Precisely
@@thabomiya3789 obviously the expression wasn't for you, but to help people who don't know anything about him to understand who he was in Africa. Don't be so sensitive to language, it is always open to interpretation
Thomas Sankara is still alive, he will live in the hearts and minds of every African eternally.
True .
until the revolution ends he will continue to guide
Sankara the upright man❤️ forever in our hearts.
Justice for muammar Gaddafi family too.
It's coming, only the time isn't said so
*Inspirational Prophet (pbuh) Quote Speak good or remain silent*
Gone but not forgotten, Today we lack people like Sanakar
I welcome these news even though the real culprits will never be judged!
Sankara is Burkina Faso - Otherwise it would still be Upper Volta. If you know you know.

Thomas Sankara❤ was a brilliant leader who moved the true sons and daughters of Africa profoundly. Even though I live in Ethiopia, thousands of miles away from Burkina Faso, I feel a powerful bond with Sankara and his heritage. He was a true hero of Africa who dared to transform the continent with his courageous vision. I wish he had survived longer and fulfilled his aspirations for Burkina Faso and Africa. He was far ahead of his time in every aspect.
They killed un Sankara . Now they got billions of Sankara!!
Thank you
Well, we know the murderers but we also know they where send by France intelligence. Those must also reeive tbe same fate only then total justice is served.
Perfectly right
💯
stunning report👏👏
One day we will have trials for those who killed ghadafi…imagine how sankara was killed??africans may never wake up from poverty and slumber it’s just how the world was designed…RIP Thomas sankara and the men who died standing up to masser!!
Sankara is hero the French were behind of killing him made him more famous and got his message spread even around the world. I have 6 kids one of my son is named after him and guess what his ideas will never die and it awoken the people even more
He’s a legend
Captain Thomas Sankara is my hero and role model grown up in Africa 🌍. His leadership styles and influence all over the continent in his short terms in office and life time's have impacted sealed a Pan Africanism dreams for better lives and transformation in society. Captain Thomas Sankara always lives in my heart's Peace and love justice for him ,his family and fun's.
I'm not sure what's worse, the very late attempt at justice for a good man, or to find that France did nothing to aid justice for so long
Or could it be France had something to do with it🤔
@@muatorzeah620 lol now wouldn't that be a surprise
France was behind all of this and Blaize was promised the president position if he carryout that order. Just another puppet for France. Notice how he was safe in Ivory coast and couldn't get extradited back to Burkina Faso. That's because the president of Ivory coast is also a frence puppet. But not for long, "come with force and leave by force of the people"
Thomas Sankara: The African Malcolm X.
Of course France was involved..when have wht people not been responsible for the untimely death of Blk revolutionaries around the world?
WHO HOLDS INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRACTICE OF A CRIMINAL ACT AND DOES NOT REPORT IT IS CRIMINAL, IN THE SAME PROPORTION AS THE MORAL/MATERIAL AUTHOR.
FRANCE, IN POSSESSION OF ALL THAT INFORMATION, WHAT ADVANTAGES HAS FRANCE OBTAINED BY NOT REVEALING THESE TRUTH????
Burkina Faso needs to demand ivory coast hand him over or else.
Finally, justice has rained.
The same people that murder him are now Seeking Justice. How is this Justice?
*Peace & Stability in Burkina Faso very important for Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana. because Burkina Faso have border with 6 countries.*
Why didn't Thomas have heavy security and make sure he carried weapons when he knew his life was in danger? 😢
never harm another human.

The only country in Africa that accepts and promotes colonialism is Ivory Coast. The character of that country has never changed.
They lived in slavery too long and used to it.
@@RealityStand Very true
Specially with the current president Mr. Yamacoujee also known Alassane Quattara. Smh!
Thomas Sankara Was A Great African Leader. He Is In The League As Nelson Mandela In The Minds Of Africans
He's actually more than yeah, Sankara stood for interests of his people
Very good, although it took long before the Justice came.
Finally everything's comes out.
Why did you remove Al Jazeera live chat?
For Information those murdered African visionaries are not dead , they flesh might be gone but their spirits are alive on the land of their ancestors. I need not to mention any names but I believe everyone with a pure African soul knows them ✊🏿❤️
This is why the country's current leader must be protected evil people are lurking around to carry out wicked acts. Jah guide and protect this man
Sankara killer deserve no mercy
Iwish they can do the some to Magufuri. Finally he can rest in peace 💔💔💔💔
Magufuli alikuwa na matatizo ya moyo

The hero ❤❤❤
About time other African countries revisited assassinations/political executions from the past!
Finally some ⚖ in this world
France murder him, and they are also Seeking Justice for the same man they murder? What is Justice in this case🤔
He knew what he was doing for the betterment of his people would cost him his life, and he still did it. They killed the psychical man, but his ideas live on with his memory. He was a formidable force to be reckoned with and his enemies knew it. He's not the "che" of anything. He is Thomas Sankara. 🙏🏽🕊🕊🇺🇸
Hey my brother history remember you all the things you did I’m not from your country but I know you loved your country so much that you died for it much love you my brother we sending our love from Yemen

You are right but the market is profitable if you are using a really good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.

Religion of Abraham
16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him , so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”
20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”
22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing -to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
26 The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”
“If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”
29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”
He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”
30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”
He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”
He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”
32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”
He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”
33 When the Lord had finished speaking(AC) with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
Like Lumumba He challenged the status quo which is the colonizers extended arm like wise he paid with his dear life.
