Yesterday marked exactly 31 years since Burkina Faso President Thomas Sankara was assasinated.
Sankara was a humanist, feminist and ecologist who led his country from 1983 until his assassination in 1987 at the age of 37.
His voice was notable in the fight against imperialism and neo-colonialism. He established programs for social and economic change on his continent and fought tirelessly for African self-reliance.
