Angefinywa makende kwanza. He betrayed a close friend
How comes the USSR didn’t protect Comrade Sankara?
The USSR never came to the aid of Socialist Comrade Partrice Lumumba either.
Heck the USSR never came to the aid of staunch ally, Comrade Nelson Mandela. If the USSR wanted they could’ve negotiated for Mandela’s release and repatriation to the USSR.
Russia will rescue Assad but never their negrump allies.
He did unyama to his comrade but we have to agree that Africa is not ready to accept an idealist.

[SIZE=4]Burkina Faso’s Ex-pres Compaore Sentenced To Life In Prison Over Sankara Murder[/SIZE]
OUAGADOUGOU, April 6 (Reuters) - Burkina Faso’s former president Blaise Compaore was sentenced to life imprisonment for complicity in the 1987 murder of his predecessor Thomas Sankara in a coup, a military tribunal ruled on Wednesday.
The charismatic Marxist revolutionary Sankara was gunned down in the West African nation’s capital Ouagadougou at the age of 37, four years after he took power in a previous putsch.
Compaore was charged in absentia along with his former head of security Hyacinthe Kafando, who was also sentenced to life imprisonment.
Both have previously denied any involvement in Sankara’s death along with 12 other defendants accused of involvement in the plot, three of whom were declared innocent on Wednesday.
"The court finds Blaise Compaoré and Hyacinthe Kafando guilty of attack on state security, complicity in murder and concealment of a corpse,"the tribunal said in its ruling.
Compaore went on to rule for 27 years before being ousted in another coup in 2014 and fleeing to Ivory Coast, where he is still believed to live.
Fondly known as Africa’s “Che Guevara”, Sankara took power on a promise to thwart corruption and post-colonial influences, denouncing foreign aid as a control mechanism.
He rolled out mass vaccination against polio, banned female circumcision and polygamy, and was one of the first African leaders to publicly recognise the growing AIDS epidemic as a threat for the continent.
A former fighter pilot, Sankara won public support in the impoverished nation by selling a government fleet of Mercedes, lowering the pay of well-off public servants and forbidding first class state travel.
He cut his own salary, refused to work with air conditioning and jogged through Ouagadougou unaccompanied.
Critics say his reforms curtailed freedoms and did little to enrich ordinary people. But admiration remains.
Over the weekend, students gathered around white flowers marking the spot where Sankara was shot.

@AZIMIO YA BARIDI TORONTO!
" President Blaise Compaore was sentenced to life imprisonment"
@ KMM lawyers office in toronto there is cause of celebrataion!
General mwitu brain is on over drive!
François Mitterrand should be resurrected to get his sentence too.
He was not an “idealist” , he was a socialist.
Stop making up words that have no meaning. Ati idealist.
Let the ferker die in jail. Thomas was a very good man. He didn’t deserve to die like that. Let it be funzo to other African shit leaders
There is a thin line between an idealist and a socialist. Continue dozing in the castle of your skin as the world moves on:D
What the fuck is an idealist?
Also you don’t quite seem to comprehend what a socialist is.
Sankara had started the early pogroms where he would collect villagers in a baraza and lecture and punish the bourgeosie or wealthy village folk. They would be humiliated and caned in public.
Let’s forget that he himself he was a child of privilege.
During this phase 1, the poor people cheer very loudly… that is until the socialist dictator declares that even they have to give up their houses and farms and move to Socialist reeducation camps.
You know what, fuck Sankara. Ethiopia was a good example of the African style pogrom. Mengistu murdered all the elites and jailed hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians.
There is no need to wait for Sankara to initiate phase 2 of the pogroms, just kill the bastard.
If Sankara had lived on leo mngekuwa mnasema how 4 million Bukinabe were slaughtered during the collectivization phase of Burkina Faso.
Campaore is a hero in my books. He will be jailed but he saved millions of lives.
If only there was a Campaore in Russia during Stalin’s pogroms, or in China before Chairman Mao murdered millions or even in Ethiopia to stop Mengistu.
Once you connect the dots from a socialist, an idealist and utopia you can then crawl out of the cave you have been hibernating in:D
:meffi::meffi::meffi::meffi: umeffi.
Hata huyo Raila wenu hatujui what he has in mind. Once a socialist always a socialist.
Too risky to give power to such a dangerous human.
Raila anaeza amka siku moja… wacha nisiseme juu NIS @majizee ako area, na ni mjaluo.
You have made a good point here, Patrick Kinuthia Mburu Thisha Wangui
