A Brief History of Thomas Sankara
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- This is the story of Thomas Sankara, a proponent of Pan-Africanism and a heroic leader from Burkina Faso, who challenged the conventional ways of doing things, leaving a lasting impression on his countrymen during his three and a half years in office.
Often called the African Che Guevara, Sankara was a visionary who changed the name of his homeland from its colonial label Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, the Land of the Upright.
As the president of Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries in Africa, he sought to change the lives of the Burkinabe for good.

Enjoy!
let me add more to his accomplishments:
1- He added over 300km of railroad lines without foreign aid.
2- He tooo over 600 orphans off the streets and send them on scholarship to cuba to learn engineering and technical education to return and develop their nation.
I don't idolise any politicians except for Sankara because he really was "that guy"
Agreed. Some would also say prime minister Maurice Bishop from Grenada was also ahead of his time.
THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT HIM AT ALL!!!! ONLY PABLO ESCOBAR & EL "CHAPO"....
Him and Ché! I'm sure there are plenty of others. Potential leaders who are willing sacrifice everything and lay their life down in the pursuit of human rights. People willing to live like the mythical Jesus Christ. Some pacifists, some willing to kill for what's right like Ché. These people are either murdered, demonized through propaganda and false accusations and what not or just never getting the opportunity or being conspired against. And we'll never know their names' or the great ideas they had and the sacrifices they were willing to make. The idea that power corrupts absolutely, human nature is greedy and what not I think is all bullshit. There's a lot of people like that or have been brainwashed into becoming that. But lots of people aren't. History is full of great people like Sankara but we just don't learn about them for many reasons.
Qadafi was the same, a true people's hero. Chavez too come to think about it.
@@onanysundrymule3144No, he wasn't. And it would suit you well to know that Gaddafi himself was involved in the coup that saw Sankara assasinated.
Comrade Sankara was a gift to mankind. We need more like him.
It is remarkable what a politician can do, if he really means it.
Yes, he did a lot of great things in a short space of time
He reduced his own salary, cut back on Mercedes and used Pugeuot, and owned very few things except a refrigerator and some guitars. That is impressive and unheard of for any leader of any country. Doesn't "absolute power corrupt absolutely?" We always hear that. Yet we NEVER hear of this man, as if his name has been blotted out of history by the Imperialist powers. The elites don't want this example to be known. Thomas Sankara is a hero and should be remembered and celebrated the world over. He offers the world hope that is so much lacking today.
we hear of so called "communist dictators" only being in it to steal money and power yet even the liberals go too example, stalin, lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with molotov untill he died
ISLAM
Well said ✔️
my favorite modern african leader!
He was one of a kind
for me Sankara, lmumba, Gaddafi, Hassan II and Nelson Mandela are the great african leaders
@@samibara2690 Depending on how Kagame does you may end up adding him to the list lol.
@@003mohamud insallah i hope Africa need to unite but right now it doesnt look likely cause of algeria and RSA trying to take land away from morocco
@@samibara2690 personally i think regional unions+nato like org would make more sense. I mean look at the problems the EU has with economic integration, and it's a continent less than a 3rd the size of Africa.
What a leader Sankara was, it’s sad his story doesn’t get talked about more.
HIS-TORY ONLY TALK ABOUT THE SELL OUTS.....HAHHSSH.... 🤮🤢
As an African I am ashamed to have only just learned of this great great legend…every day I make an effort to learn more about our beautiful continent and the heroes who always fought for their People
Although I despise military rule, Thomas Sankara is a blatant exception , he was a humble honest servant of his people and truly ahead of his time, his legacy lives on.
Love from Sudan 🇸🇩
If only more world leaders had the same kind of humility as Sankara had.
Sankara was the man for Africa to follow........
This is the leaders Africa needs. Rest well sir, your legacy lives. Much love from a Kenyan son and a true son of Africa
More love from Mombasa Kenya🎉🎉🎉am a panafricanist
Peace be upon his soul..I named my son Sankara and Bukinabe and my daughter Bukinafaso... changed the family name to Sankara.
Thomas Sankara can never die. Watch and see!
Just found this channel and it's so good for accessible lessons on a continent which isnt taught about anywhere near enough. Long live Sankara! And long live the Anti Imperialist spirit of Africa!
Thank you for your kind words!
insallah africa unite and fight off foreign influences
Wow, This is first I m hearing this man but it looks like one country benefited Thomas Sankara ideology Rawada president is taking the path of Thomas Sankara. Thanks Thomas your legacy will live on from Somalia
I first learned about Sankara when I was 6 years old, it is great to watch a video about him after all those years.
Such a good man. It always brings a tear to my eye thinking of his efforts.
Ohh 😯 good to know he is the one who remained Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. Quite impressive statesmanship I would say.
Rip to the man, long live the ideals!!!!
This makes my first time hearing about my Brother right here...Mr. Thomas Sankara was a great man.❤❤❤
This man is an enigma! How do the developing world lose such people to the greed of our own!
He’s a hero who I think you need to do an updated and detailed documentary on. Thank you for this.
Excellent video! Thank you and I am now subscribing to your channel to learn more. Long live Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Bantu Steve Biko, Haile Selassie, Kwame Nkurumah, Ahmed Sekou Ture, Amilcar Cabril, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Nnamdi Azikiwe, etc.
Thanks and welcome
Awesome summary. Thank you.
RIP Sankara
Honestly i dont like when people say "he is the african Che Guevara"
Makes me feel like he is not considered as a unique personality.
Great video btw!!
a true hero of the proletariat, the betrayal he faced from a close friend was truely disgusting. as a brit and communist, i truely hope one day we can dismantle capitalism worldwide and begin to heal the damage of colonialism and imperialism both past and current
Truly beautifully told. Thank you. Sankara was a blessing and visionary for his people to blossom.
Captain Rhomas Sankara sits among the few great and honourable men we have in our entire human history. His murder by the western powers and greedy and evil traitors is very obvious. May he rest in heaven. 🙏🙏🙏
This was a fantastic video! I have been getting interested into African History lately thanks to New Africa and your channel. In fact ive discovered your channel on a comment in one of New Africas videos! As New Africa inspired you to make your channel, you inspire me a little to make my own channel that delves into some aspects of Mexican or Church history one day. I hope your channel grows large and prosperous very soon! You've earned this 100th sub!
Thank you for your comment. It makes all of this worthwhile
Same.
He was the greatest of all time
Absoulutely one of the best leaders, love his ideals and the way he promoted and applied them. Really enjoyed this video, your channel is so interesting! Love from Italy :)
RIP respected African Son.hope young generation will buy your magnificent vision to move Africa forward.
Love from Ethiopia
Thomas Sankara is one of my favorite world leaders.

They will use us 2get us every time
Our minds indeed are in need of a mental purge. 👊🏾❤️👊🏾Voodom
Thank you for this vital education.
You are welcome
I remember reading about Thomas Sankara years back and further looking into him this man was a True leader not only that but he was also a Great genius
Sankara was a hero. He made the mistake of upsetting the rich, powerful and corrupt.
"You can not be principally against corruption without pissing off corrupt people"
That wasn't a mistake
@@thegomillionairemindset6719 yeah its part what made him a hero
The current president Ibrahim has done the same to safe their country.
He was that guy... We have looked for a guy like him we have never seen one.
Sankara is a hero to people the world over. Thanks for the video.
Thomas Sankara can not be quickly forgotten in African history. Indeed, the history of Africa has a place for you.
One of the best political leaders ever. Thank you for the video.
Much love for comrade Thomas Sankara. One of my favorite revolutionary leaders of all time ☭
We Will Finish the job Sir Thomas 🙌 🙏 👏 🌍💪 May God Bless you for all you did!

glad I found your channel! greetings from Massachusetts!
A great leader for the land of the people❤🙏
Excellent historical record
Thank you
thanks for the video
What an amazing and amazingly brave man Sankara was, a politician who achieved what he promised to achieve, he really did advance the cause of his people and was genuinely selfless, he must have made the usual venal elites quake in their boots! We should lament his demise, the world needs more Sankara's!
thank you for sharing
I Love this man call SANKARA his very serious and a through Leader
Thomas Sankara is one of my heroes.
Great Content team!
Thank you so much.
Love your work!!!
A man ahead of his time...
His legacy still remain...well done ..
love this
Merci beaucoup Mr ❣️❣️❣️
The best leader of his generation
The one thing his life story has taught me is that Africa can be fixed but due to laziness and cowards "leaders", this won't happen.
He achieved in 3yrs what some countries have taken 2 decades to achieve if that even.
He was killed so that looting could continue.
Or any generation for that matter.
The best of the best. Wow!
Sankara still lives . God bless Africa 🌍 🙏
simply a great man
My favorite leader May his soul rest in perfect peace
Great video
Thank you
Great servant of the nation. Continue resting big Fish
One of the greatest African leaders
i love your videos but as these people are hard to learn about, it would be very helpful if you would list your source material in the description or throughout the video
I'm so tired of our politics (Kenya). No politician loves our country, everyone just wants wealth for themselves and their families.
Hio ni ukweli bro👍👍👍Raila and Ruto are not fit enough to be presidents of Kenya
We need fresh youthful and energetic leaders👍👍👍
Merci beaucoup frère 😭💓
Im still remember when Tomás Sankara visited the Sahrawi people in the refugees campus in 1984 our people named him best friend of our freedom replication from the Moroccan ocupación
The world is lacking of men like Sankara, I prayer to Jehovah God that He will raise up many men and women like Sankara, even though he's dead he is not forgotten, Jehovah God will give sound judgement on those who killed him
Can Africa have a great leader like Thomas Sankar. Is there any LION in Africa?
Powerful man
Such a genius man
Amazing❤
If they make a movie about Thomas Sankara Eddie Murphy would fit the role perfectly .
nope. not Eddie Murphy, a clown!
He was pretty incredible!
i just learned the existence of this man, and i think he was a great man
God Bless our African heroes. May we remember them and emulate them.
Just like Sankara, Gaddafi too was brutally murdered for opposing colonial powers. Both had a vision to unite Africa and west was afraid of this becoming a reality. Their deaths became a painful reminder of the current destruction that's happening to Africa.
Save for the fact that Gaddafi was a criminal warmonger with imperialist tendencies that was involved in the coup against Sankara. How dare You honour him along with Thomas Sankara?
I have so much to learn. What a wonderful progressive ahead of his times... I want very much to learn more..... What a statement is made by the ex-president by not returning for the trial. Shame on that Man.
He was a communist. Not a progressive
General Thomas day. Happy birthday RIP my g.
One of Wonderful roll model leader in Africa, rest in peace Thomas sankara.
Legend
let me add more to his accomplishments:
1- He added over 300km of railroad lines without foreign aid.
2- He tooo over 600 orphans off the streets and send them on scholarship to cuba to learn engineering and technical education to return and develop their nation.
The best African learning is this man
Respect to Sankara from the Solomon Islands 💚💛💙
Am from Uganda, but this is the history they never teach us instead teach us Arabs and Portuguese
Long live his ideals! What a man❤️
Thomas Sankara is a world leader that must be emulated
Enemies of the people needed destroying. You can't create a new, better society without uprooting the old establishment. Revolutions are never clean but this man's hands were. RIP. A true loss to humanity
Well said
My idol
This is important ! Thank you for this information ! Lessons in these trials for sure. Black history ❤️ just curious , why does so many Black Leaders in Africa get killed and why does the US always have a hand in it ?🧐 why can’t Africa be strongest? Seems as if everytime they are on the verge of being the Worlds most dominant , it gets divided and conquered !!!!!!
The western powers keep dividing Africa so that they can control the rich natural resources. I hope our african brothers will become free.
Because no appreciation of what alrady have...wanting to mix too much with outside influences... thinking grass is greener on the other side and or the white man ice is colder mentality
@@hessjean4403 💥 ❕
its not racial war, its rich and poor...so its not to be on top, its to be free...and thats real danger to imperialis/capitalism, the ones who want to be on top is again easy to control...but unfortunetly poors from any race are equally blind to see or easy to buy change things...
AFRICA'S BEST LEADER BEST LEADER OF ALL TIME
Real Talk
Land of Honest Men May Sankara RIP
I clicked the link to watch the gaddafi episode and it was blocked (no longer available). What happened? Where can I see it?
2:16 “It was in 1974 where he would earn much public attention for his heroic performance in the border war with Mali. But years later he renounced war as being useless & unjust “
