@araparawet7: The Assassination of Thomas Sankara: A Hero of Africa. Thomas Sankara, a great African leader, once said, "He who feeds you controls you." This powerful quote shows his wisdom and vision for a free Africa. A photo taken in 1987 shows President Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso with the famous Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. They met at the Panafrican Film and Television Festival (FESPACO) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Sadly, just a few months later, Sankara was killed by his own soldiers. Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara was a military officer, revolutionary, and Pan-Africanist. He became President of Burkina Faso after a coup in 1983 and served until his death in 1987. Many people see him as a hero and a symbol of African revolution. Fela Kuti was very sad when he heard about Sankara's death, which happened on his birthday, October 15th. When Fela toured Europe, people kept talking about how great Sankara was. Fela called him the best President in Africa. He even wrote a song about Sankara in 1992, called "Underground System." In the song, Fela's voice is filled with sadness as he talks about African leaders and the death of his friend Sankara.
