Résumé

Thirty-two years after his assassination, Thomas Sankara's name remains appealing throughout Africa and beyond. The revolutionary leader's legacy consists of a call to unity, self-confidence and good governance. To the world's leaders, Sankara's concern for the less advantaged might serve as a reminder that sacrifice to humanity is a yardstick for assessing good leadership. Looking back at Sankara's dynamic and visionary presidency, might his revolutionary spirit be relevant to Burkina Faso and to the African continent today as it was then ? My take is an unwavering yes !
