Burkina Faso's Revolutionary Leader Assassinated

Title: Blood Gold: The Assassination of Burkina Faso’s Revolutionary Leader

Subtitle: How a Idealist President Fell to Betrayal, Greed, and Foreign Interests

The Idealist

In 1983, a young, charismatic army captain named Thomas Sankara seized power in Burkina Faso, a landlocked West African nation plagued by poverty and colonial exploitation. Dubbed 'Africa’s Che Guevara,' Sankara launched a radical revolution—renaming the country from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso ('Land of Upright People'), slashing government salaries, promoting women’s rights, and vaccinating millions against disease.

But his most dangerous move? Challenging foreign powers over Burkina’s gold.

The Conspiracy

Sankara’s policies threatened French economic interests, multinational mining corporations, and even his own comrades. He:
✔ Nationalized land and mineral wealth, cutting off French and Western profiteers.
✔ Publicly condemned African leaders for corruption, making powerful enemies.
✔ Refused IMF loans, declaring, 'Debt is a cleverly managed reconquest of Africa.'

Behind the scenes, a plot was brewing. His closest friend and second-in-command, Blaise Compaoré, was secretly negotiating with foreign intelligence agencies and local elites.

The Assassination

On October 15, 1987, Sankara arrived at a routine meeting in Ouagadougou. Suddenly, armed commandos stormed the room, gunning him down. His body was hastily buried in an unmarked grave, his death officially labeled an 'accident.'

Compaoré took power the same day—reversing every one of Sankara’s reforms, welcoming foreign mining companies, and ruling as a dictator for 27 years.

The Cover-Up

For decades, the truth was suppressed. Witnesses disappeared. Files were burned. Then, in 2021, a shocking discovery: Sankara’s remains were exhumed—riddled with bullets, confirming execution. A French parliamentary report later admitted France knew of the plot but did nothing.

The Unanswered Questions

Did France’s intelligence services greenlight the hit to protect their economic interests?

Did Compaoré’s greed alone drive the betrayal, or was he a pawn in a larger game?

Why did Sankara’s own guards turn on him?

The case remains officially unsolved.

Epilogue: A Revolution Delayed?

In 2014, Compaoré was ousted in a popular uprising. Today, Sankara is a global icon of resistance—but Burkina Faso remains trapped in poverty and violence, its gold still flowing out to foreign vaults.

Was Sankara’s revolution doomed from the start? Or was his murder the moment Burkina Faso’s future was stolen?
