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.
