[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

36 years ago today, Thomas Sankara, a revolutionary African leader, was assassinated by French imperialists.

Sankara drove out French imperialism from Burkina Faso and withdrew from IMF and made the country non-reliant on foreign aid.

He was assassinated in a coup led by his close ally, Blaise Compaoré supported by French imperialists

As far as African leadership goes, Thomas Sankara was cut from a different piece of cloth.

Here are some of his accomplishments, ONLY 4 YEARS in power (1983-87):

– He vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks.
– He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987.
– He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification
– He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid
– He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education.
– He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights
– He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers.
– He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets.
– He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.
– He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.”
– He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against continued neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance. • He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting
– In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army’s provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country).
– He forced civil servants to pay one month’s salary to public projects.
– He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes.
– As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer.
– A motorcyclist himself, he formed an all-women motorcycle personal guard.
– He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen. (The reason being to rely upon local industry and identity rather than foreign industry and identity)
– When asked why he didn’t want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied “There are seven million Thomas Sankaras.”
– An accomplished guitarist, he wrote the new national anthem himself

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱 Le rappeur #Ademo du groupe #PNL a pris la parole concernant la situation à #Gaza sur son compte Instagram :

« Que Dieu protège tout le peuple Palestinien aussi bien que tout le juste et bon peuple Israélien contre cette manipulation et cette tyrannie.

J'ai honte de voir que nous sommes témoin de « toutes » les injustices de notre monde et que nous ne sommes pas capable de faire quoi que ce soit.

Faite attentions aux médias. Ils utilisent souvent la communication à leur fin. Aux détriment de la justice et du respect de la race humaine.

Demandons pardon pour notre manque d'amour, de foi et de force en vers l'humanité. Je serais toujours horrifié de voir ces enfants mourrir sous des bombes sans rien ne pouvoir y faire
Pour ceux qui appuient un régime de colonisation.

J'espère que vos âmes pourront vous ramener à la raison.

Que Dieu nous guide ».

Losing a parent creates a void that nothing can ever fill…

Some days it’s bearable but most days, the grief is suffocating.

🚐 | En 2020, Damso s’était exprimé au micro de Tarmac à propos de ses ambitions de retraite en camping-car

“J’ai fait un plan de dix ans pour faire succès et arriver à un stade où (…) je retourne dans mon truc et on ne me fait plus chier. J’ai mis ma famille à l’abri et je repars faire de la musique tranquillou, je n’ai pas besoin de sortir, pas besoin de faire une tournée. Je retourne juste faire du son les gars, c’est bon (…). C’est plus les autres qui m’ont poussé à partager (…). Je me suis dit « je vais faire un plan et je vais niquer le game, après j’achète un camping-car, je fais un studio dedans, je fais le tour du monde si je peux puis je fais des sons pour moi.”
