Why Thomas Sankara was not liked by some of his contemporary African leaders:

Maybe it has been the inability to overcome the truncation of life to see him and verve that fed hope of a better Burkina Faso – a better Africa, largely – but Thomas Sankara continues...
to be regarded as one of the most worthwhile examples of pro-people leadership more than 30 years after his death.
He died a few months to his 37th birthday. We console ourselves with the adage that the gods take away young the mortals they love but fate owes us no justification
for how it unfolds. However, in Sankara’s particular case, we may attune ourselves to the idea that Sankara was loved by another world because right where we live, the young soldier was not liked by some other African leaders.

Mês de novembro mês da Consciência Negra instituído oficialmente pela lei federal 12.519 celebrado foi incluído no calendário em 2003

A regulamentação não transformou a data em feriado nacional e fica a critério de cada estado e cidade optar por ser feriado ou não

(+)
Dos 5.570 municípios brasileiros menos de 15% consideram a data como feriado de acordo com o Estado de S. Paulo

Essa baixa adesão do feriado tão importante para 56% da população do pais, ou seja, mais da metade, mostra como vivemos em um pais completamente RACISTA!

(+)
O dia escolhido 20 de novembro faz referência à morte de Zumbi dos Palmares assassinado em 1695

Hoje no dia 02 de novembro feriado do dia dos finados fizemos uma pequena homenagem aos nossos ancestrais q lutaram pela nossa liberdade

My political mentor who is also the LAST African leader to walk the face of the earth, Late President Thomas Sankara said something about imperialism..
I’m a Marxist/Socialist and a Pan-Africanist just like the African Che Guevara(#ThomasSankara) and I can boldly say that the present day African leaders have failed us..
Should I say that’s because they’re not enlightened or educated enough?
Or certainly blaim it on their self centeredness and inhumanity? I’ve been studying and researching the reason behind the failed state of #Africa(#Nigeria) and it’s crystal clear the reason for this failure is the egotism among the vanguard.
