I am from Burkina Faso, and, I can tell you, this man is still revered and even called prophet by many of us. He was a blessing to our country and would have achieved more on the continent. His friend Compaore has recently been sentenced to life emprisonment and is in exile, but this is not enough to comfort us because we are still an underdeveloped country. That would have been different if Sankara was still alive. We are still crying for this big loss...
Comrade, I say this with nothing but love. Sankara left a road map to salvation. He is gone and isn't coming back, but he last left to the people of Burkina Faso the means to their salvation. Through revolution the people of Burkina Faso can continue the work he started. Power comes from the masses of the people💙
@@nelsonkiprono859 named my son Sankara too after this great man. Hist story broke my heart. I was down for two days. If only he'd gotten even as little as 10 years Burkinabe and Africa would be far!
What makes me so sad is that this is not the history we are taught in our African schools. We are taught about the Christopher Columbus and do on but nothing that reminds us Africans about how strong we can be and how we can change our fate on our own if we want to.
Joan Dzimwasha - that's my concern as well...the continent's substantive heros and exemplary leaders life, history and triumphs are not taught in our elementary schools neither is the citizenry aware of such.....WE AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS of Africa need to chart our own course and articulate our own stories....
Who publishes the text books used by your teachers and students in your country, if I may ask? Is there a more standardized system or is it just what the teacher knows from their own education and books?
@WageSlaving2TheTop ! I don't think white supremacy is somehow stronger in Poland than it is in other white countries (both European and North American). You have probably just watched few photos from 11th November march and that's why you think it is. Greetings from Poland as well o7
Thomas Sankara, I love you and thank you for the legacy you have been created. Haiti needs a leader like you. I will do all my best to follow your path and be like you were to make Haiti proud. #ayitiseafrica
Sankara was the upright man ,that’s all.To be a successful leader of his own country and there are so many obstacles to be overcome ,especially in Africa ,anyone wants to achieve that who needs to be a good politician first ,sadly that’s almost impossible in near future
MoralSingularity “persecution” yeah because having them admit their crimes in public is somehow a bad punishment, also the lazy workers were wealthy land onwers who exploited the labor of others to enrich themselves, so they weren’t even workers at all.
@MoralSingularity You sound like a fellow American, and you should already know that the globalist press is the enemy of the people. Also, unions are corrupt just like every other institution
@MoralSingularity complaining about racism as a white person. What kind of privilege do you have. The outcome of socialism is a people fed, housed and educated The outcome of capitalism is poverty oppression and famine
@MoralSingularity Ahh yes, Peterson and Shapiro, a RUclips professor and radio talk show host, I think I'll stick to Marx, Engels, Friere, Allende and Sankara, Men who cared about people's futures and worked for it
MoralSingularity lmao Shapiro and Peterson are your sources for your argument against socialism? Go educate yourself with real intellectuals like Professor Richard Wolff and Noam Chomsky.
Thomas Sankara is not the African Che, he was at the head of a country and totally transformed it in the course of a few years. Che is actuallly the Latin American Sankara...
@MoralSingularity Venezuela has overwhelmingly privatised industry. Peterson doesn't understand fundamental aspects of both postmodernism and Marxism. Sorry!
Jordan Peterson is an idiot who doesn't realise Marxism (and all socialist thought) is diametrically opposed to post-modernism as it is a materialist line of thought, whereas post-modernism isn't. I wouldn't get your life advice from someone who thinks people are lobsters.
Did you listen to the man that murdered him and became the ruler with Nato's blessing he had the information of what the two men(bodyguard, Sankara) spoke of as his justification for Sankara's murder? We in the West kill the good ones and keep the evil ones in power!
Most definitely...so true! His eyes, were filled with so much hope that you feel like holding the hope emanating from his eyes, with you own two hands. Nothing but death, was going to stop him. God bless him and grant him a place in heaven.
While T. Sankara was indeed dynamic and a great leader, he is not the only or best! You speak as though Afrika is a young continent with a young history! Afrika has the longest history, and many of Her ancient Leaders were as great if not greater than Sankara! I would say though that for the very short time he was given, he accomplished tremendous feats that many of these modern leaders have yet to begin to appreciate. K. Nkrumah of Ghana also did great things in his time as leader of Ghana.
i know only 2 real saints ...Thomas Sankara and Patrice Lumumba, and so my first daughter is named after Lumumba and God willing my son will take on the name Sankara. these are the true saints that lived and walked among nations, RIP

I wonder why and how could it be possible that ppl u try 2 help can forget so quickly. N this mental slavery's state that didn't change at all, don't know if ppl deserve this kind of politician who gets spitted on n then reevaluted afterwards. It's like Santa comes, u get ur gifts, u get upset coz its never enough. U bashes Santa all around, telling how useless he is. He doesn't come back, n then u realize that having sthg is better than nothing. Still wondering...
This man was the face of the third world, the voice of the voiceless. Next time someone tells me "socialism never worked", I will tell them about this great man. Imagine if him and Gaddafi were both still alive today, the whole middle east and Africa would be totally different. The third world must unite. Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America all have the same oppressors, EUROPE AND AMERICA, and Thomas showed us how to fight back, he was more successful than any other socialist leader.
Baathism is somewhat reactionary in it´s believe, especially Qadaffi in it´s later live and work. No doubt he would achieve great things, though. And you could (nowadays) ad China and Russia to the list of imperialist Oppressors. Sadly Panthirdworldism oder something like this is utopian without a binding power like Redchina or the USSR. But hey, in the end, communism will win.
I just want to comment, as a french speaker, something that is absolutely striking when you hear him speak: he speaks like a genuine human being. I don't know if it's lost in translation, but it really is remarkable. There is absolutely none of that robot talk typical of politicians. He talks to people as friends and siblings, there's some kind of intimacy; there's a real sense of equality and respect.
It is a pity that Thomas Sankara is not well known around the world. I found out only yesterday. One of the most epic, most forward thinking leaders of all time. A true humanist. A genuinely good and selfless man.
This is a leader, he was for his people..he is revolutionary, man I wish Africa had more of him, he is a movement!!!! I’m in awe of the changes he brought, just learnt about him a week ago, every-time I read about him I just get goosebumps
This man had a vision for Africa that was ahead of his time. Rest in peace Sankara. You were a visionary and many of the other heads of state that you sat with were too blind to see.
Bring tears to my eyes, on what could have been with this revolutionary leaders. The boldness to expose the French president (David & Goliath) the passion in his voice addressing fellow African leaders. “Who who feeds you controls you” “It’s not right, it’s not up to us to betray” Rest in Perfect Peace Thomas
A Great leader that’s wasn’t scared about nothing but God... when the coup happened he came outside with his hands up saying if y’all looking for me here I am .... legend it’s understatement.. He was God chosen !!!
Gone, but he'll NEVER be forgotten, same goes for his ideologies that will forever live on. My ideal type of leader/president, present day our continent(Africa) has been hijacked by hungry capitalists basically hyenas, as the youth we're obliged to take back our continent, revive our African cultures and economy. Long live Sankarism... With love from Namibia🇳🇦
Sankara had an uncanny way to communicate extremely serious issues with such comedic charisma. Bless up...long live Thomas Sankara. More fiyah fi Blaise I-tinually.
I'm from South Africa. I learnt about this man when i was in Primary School (elementary school in America) and i became so conscious about what us means to be a revolutionary leader,and a Pan Afrikanist
The Ziaur Rahman of Burkina Faso. Ziaur Rahman is a Bangladeshi freedom fighter, Bir Uttom(2nd Hightest gallantry award given to the freedom fighters). He also ruled the country for a little less than 4 years and did a lot of great stuff. Free market economy, human resource export, industrialization etc. He was also targeted by people who couldn't endure the rise of a nation. He was brutally murdered in my hometown of Chittagong. May Allah bless such leaders, may Allah send us more leaders like them.
don't be ashamed of actions of French capitalists and imperialists, it's much more productive to fight them than to be ashamed just because you have been born in the same country
@sebatian you asshole bootlicker,they dont give a shit about the french people,the only reason the french capitalists ever give benefits is so that they can pretend they are doing good,just like the feudal lords under the monarchy claimed to protect the peasants while in reality they were exploiting them.Why do you think the russian revolution happened.The Tsar didnt give a shit about his people and just repressed them leaving them poor and desperate so they turned to the bolsheviks and overthrew them.By doing benefits the western capitalists are pretending to serve the people so that they don't end up like the Tsar
How is it a leader so amazing, and so little is talked about of him in present day. If each leader on the African continent was like this, the continent would be a Mecca for progress!! This guy was thinking so ahead of his peers. RIP Captain Thomas Sankara. He should be taught in every history class on the African continent.

When you see a nation progress and improve so drastically through Marxist rhetoric, such as this nation's story shows, how can you possibly still blame the fall of the USSR on communism? Just as this nation fell due to imperialism, so did the USSR. Imperialism is not something which can be fought by militaries and nations. Imperialism is something which MUST be fought by every decent citizen within EVERY nation. Whether you compromise the war crimes of your government's military, or you inform the public, or you fight for political power, if you have the ability to fight against imperialism and you do not, you are committing a disservice to your character and to the world which surrounds you.
Thomas Sankara was a true hero of Africa and an inspiration to all of us, but the western conspiracy made us lose him. Rest in power Mr. President Thomas Sankara! Love from Ethiopia!
@Poop Corporation TM Yes and all individuals should be judged on an individual basis, governments and corporations and entities acting on their behalf are the sketchy ones
Thomas Sankara is a true legend. An extraordinary man. If the world had more people like him, we would be saved. Unfortunately he is with the angels now. May he rest in peace. Bless him 🙌
Thomas Sankara was an upright man. He was a patriot for his nation and Africa. Such people are not loved by the corrupt and those who love material goods. Blaise Compaore and his companions were very uncomfortable since they couldn't steal and enjoy under his leadership. God rest his soul in peace, he loved people so much.
First time learning of him today and he's already my icon and inspiration Africa needs more leaders like him From Mogadishu Somalia After 33 years his death 😭😭😭
This man held the highest position in his country and chose to own almost nothing. That's a man of principle right there. This documentary is trash. "Sections of the population were tired of sankaras methods" do they mean the feudal lords and the stunted bourgeouise who had a financial interest in the continued exploitation of the people? I have a hard time believing that the people would tire of a regime that greatly raised their quality of life.
Justice is the oppression of the privileged classes. The state must be used to oppress them - not with torture and cruelty but with confiscation, seizure of property, justice for their crimes. They will cry their eyes out at the loss of their treasures!
2022 Im here listening to Thomas Sankara...My Hero, i love this man to bits, whenever i see his video there is a spark that is ignited within me.Long live the spirit of Captain Thomas Sankara!
Up there with one of the greatest leaders the world over, not just in Africa. My inspiration, my CAPTAIN SANKARA. Africa and nor just Burkina Faso is still reeling from losing him so abruptly 😥
Big respect to Thomas Thankara, Patrice Lumumba, Muhammar Gaddafi and my previous President Joseph Magufuli. These men were true Africa nationalistic. I am from Tanzania.
It pains any one who loves and want to see Africa progress. Africans we have to be very very careful with the influence of the Western ideology, we have lost many TRUE LEADERS who wanted to see Africans stand on themselves. My His Soul Rest In Eternal Peace.

An upright and righteous man, may he RIP and never be forgotten.
When you see a nation progress and improve so drastically through Marxist rhetoric, such as this nation's story shows, how can you possibly still blame the fall of the USSR on communism? Just as this nation fell due to imperialism, so did the USSR. Imperialism is not something which can be fought by militaries and nations. Imperialism is something which MUST be fought by every decent citizen within EVERY nation. Whether you compromise the war crimes of your government's military, or you inform the public, or you fight for political power, if you have the ability to fight against imperialism and you do not, you are committing a disservice to your character and to the world which surrounds you.
The biblical heaven is described as a socialist state yet white christians love capitalism and want to go to heaven
@@exillens Dictatorial communism, really
Thomas Sankara was a true hero of Africa and an inspiration to all of us, but the western conspiracy made us lose him. Rest in power Mr. President Thomas Sankara! Love from Ethiopia!
Legends never dies Thomas Sankara RIP. Blasie his close friend what a shame.
R.I.P. Thomas Sankara, you beautiful man.
He is my mentor. They assassinated him but his ideas will live forever. Keep resting great man.
Thomas sankara was great leader of africa
Probably the best and freeist communist story out there for the few years he ruled, a beautiful man and society killed by a French influenced pawn.
@Poop Corporation TM Yes and all individuals should be judged on an individual basis, governments and corporations and entities acting on their behalf are the sketchy ones
I didn't know about all these, His foot prints will forever remain on the continent and his wisdom will live in the minds of men for ever.
Thomas Sankara is a true legend. An extraordinary man. If the world had more people like him, we would be saved. Unfortunately he is with the angels now. May he rest in peace. Bless him 🙌
l have watched this documentary 5 times in the past 2 years , l tear up all the time, l dont know why he isn't in Zimbabwe's history books .
taura hako , a true hero
As a continent we need to know more about him and other African legends,Zim vedu chaivo vamwe hatiudzwe
i literally love this man
This man is simply remarkable and, worthy of intense study!
Thomas Sankara was an upright man. He was a patriot for his nation and Africa. Such people are not loved by the corrupt and those who love material goods.
Blaise Compaore and his companions were very uncomfortable since they couldn't steal and enjoy under his leadership.
God rest his soul in peace, he loved people so much.
💯
I watch this documentary every year; atleast twice. It’s burns me with hope but how I pray that will meet sankara in the after life
What an Icon!May the soul of a true statesman, a living Saint,rest in eternal peace🙏
First time learning of him today and he's already my icon and inspiration Africa needs more leaders like him
From Mogadishu Somalia
After 33 years his death 😭😭😭
A hero and a angel
Watched this some time back, what a great leader he was!
This man held the highest position in his country and chose to own almost nothing. That's a man of principle right there. This documentary is trash. "Sections of the population were tired of sankaras methods" do they mean the feudal lords and the stunted bourgeouise who had a financial interest in the continued exploitation of the people? I have a hard time believing that the people would tire of a regime that greatly raised their quality of life.
Justice is the oppression of the privileged classes. The state must be used to oppress them - not with torture and cruelty but with confiscation, seizure of property, justice for their crimes. They will cry their eyes out at the loss of their treasures!
Rest in Power General!!!
2022 Im here listening to Thomas Sankara...My Hero, i love this man to bits, whenever i see his video there is a spark that is ignited within me.Long live the spirit of Captain Thomas Sankara!
This is the kind of leadership we are lacking in Africa
Up there with one of the greatest leaders the world over, not just in Africa. My inspiration, my CAPTAIN SANKARA. Africa and nor just Burkina Faso is still reeling from losing him so abruptly 😥
God bless Thomas Sankara
Where ever he is,
And his family on earth
His mind and soul lived in the year 2030 yet his body was stuck in the 80's. What a great leader

"And those the world cannot break, it kills. The good, the gentle and the brave, impartially." - Hemingway
This man is a legend
These stories must be told by Africans always watered down 👊🏿
What a great leader! Sankara commenting from Papua New Guinea
May Thomas Sankara forever rest in peace.
Big respect to Thomas Thankara, Patrice Lumumba, Muhammar Gaddafi and my previous President Joseph Magufuli. These men were true Africa nationalistic. I am from Tanzania.
Même enterré, tu continues à nous inspirer. Paix à ton âme
History will absorve him and we shall never forget the legacy
Thomas Sankara Remains basicallY One of the Greatest And Committed Africans
It pains any one who loves and want to see Africa progress. Africans we have to be very very careful with the influence of the Western ideology, we have lost many TRUE LEADERS who wanted to see Africans stand on themselves. My His Soul Rest In Eternal Peace.
TRUE KINGS DONT DIE THEY MULTIPLY.... RIP THOMAS SANKARA
For us to be free, we must live by Thomas Sankara's ideologies.
He was such a good man
