Gouache painting of thomas sankara. Text on the image reads "it means country of honest people - thomas sankara. 12/20/2025"
Gouache attempt #3, trying to use it a bit more like watercolors with transparent layers. 7x7 painting of Sankara on Arches paper, though, maybe, a slightly derpy looking version of him (sorry) #thomassankara #gouache #traditionalart

Yukarı Volta’ya #BurkinaFaso (Dik duruşlu insanların toprağı) ismini veren, #AfrikalıChe olarak tanınan; #Afrika tarihinde en az #Mandela kadar önemli bir yere sahip olan, #antiemperyalist, #sosyalist ve #devrimci başkan #ThomasSankara geçti bu dünyadan...
(21 Aralık 1949 - 15 Ekim 1987)
Wherever the people rise up to demand their liberation and independence, imperialism crudely intervenes to arm their enemies, ignite war and organize their massacre, thus actively standing up against peace and the freedom of the peoples. THOMAS SANKARA DEC 21, 1949 - OCT 15, 1987
In 1987, African revolutionary Thomas Sankara was killed in a Western-backed coup.
After becoming President of Burkina Faso in 1983, he became a symbol of African liberation.
He implemented a program influenced by Marxism-Leninism, pan-Africanism, and […]

Ieri era la ricorrenza dell'omicidio di #ThomasSankara
Tradito e ucciso da un suo ex compagno d'armi.
In un colpo di stato sostenuto da #Francia e #USA
Un Leader ma soprattutto un Uomo di una Grandezza assoluta!
Un esempio ed eroe che non piace/piaceva all'occidente..

An abiding truth that defines the present moment. #ThomasSankara
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1987, #ThomasSankara, revolutionary leader of #BurkinaFaso, was murdered in a #coup by Blaise Compaore, whose rule was deemed more acceptable by the capitalist/imperialist powers. He was finally convicted in 2022 for killing the Marxist leader and gaoled.
Il y a 38 ans jour pour jour, Thomas Sankara, président révolutionnaire du Burkina Faso, était assassiné lors d’un coup d’État appuyé par des forces néocoloniales. Figure emblématique des luttes anticoloniales, il portait une vision audacieuse d’une Afrique souveraine, libérée des chaînes de l’impérialisme. Il défendait une économie d’autosuffisance, la justice sociale, la régénération écologique comme piliers d’une révolution authentique. Sankara n’était pas seulement un chef d’État, il était une boussole pour les peuples en quête de dignité. Ci-dessous, un extrait de son discours à l’ONU : La liberté se conquiert, New York – 4 octobre 1984 « C’est pourquoi, camarade Président, vous et moi, aux côtés de nos peuples, avons choisi de condamner le colonialisme, le néocolonialisme, l’apartheid, le racisme, le sionisme et toutes les formes d’agression, d’occupation, de domination et d’ingérence étrangère d’où qu’elles viennent. Nous condamnons et luttons contre l’apartheid en Afrique du sud tout comme le sionisme en Palestine ; nous protestons contre l’agression au Nicaragua tout comme celle perpétrée contre la Libye et la Ligne de front ; nous dénonçons l’invasion de la Grenade tout comme l’occupation de la Namibie. Nous ne cesserons de le faire tant que justice ne sera pas rendue à ces peuples. »

#CancelTheDebt #JustTransition
In 1980s Burkina Faso, #ThomasSankara dared to imagine a different Africa — one built on equality & freedom from imperialism.
Yet his #socialism project proved too weak to last as Jean-Claude Kongo and Leo Zeilig discuss in this piece:
This week, we remember Thomas Sankara — 38 years since his assassination, yet his anti-imperialist vision for African unity, justice & self-reliance burns brighter than ever.
Read: “The international forces arrayed against Sankara were too much.” #ThomasSankara #BurkinaFaso
This is very true but the next important step is to impose that choice on the champagne guzzlers. #ThomasSankara
Salud!
