>Thomas Sankara >He vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks. >He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987. >He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification >He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid >He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education. >He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights >He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers. >He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets. >He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.
>He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.” >He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against continued neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance. >He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army’s provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country). >He forced civil servants to pay one month’s salary to public projects. >He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes. >As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer. >He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen. (The reason being to rely upon local industry and identity rather than foreign industry and identity) >When asked why he didn’t want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied “There are seven million Thomas Sankaras.”
>all that in 4 years
Robert Reyes
So he was literally Hitler

>>He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987 I find myself unable to believe that 73% of any nigger country can actually read, and thus I stopped reading here because I think you're a liar.
Ayden Cooper
What a one in a billion nigger he was. May he rest in peace and the glowniggers never have it.
Isaac Cooper
Great man, his economic policy was retarded but he was the closest thing to a stateman this continent had in a while.
Levi Wood
>Women’s rights Did he call it women's rights? Because this is dangerously close to DROPPED territory.
Zachary Scott
>>There are seven million Thomas Sankaras kek, no there arent but still great guy
Mason Mitchell
Holy shit guys after Malcolm X this is confirmed proof that at least two smart niggers have existed. We should #SubmitToBBC immediately
Levi Morales

Joseph Ward
Sounds like a cool dude. I have no problem with African nations doing well. They just need to fucking stay there and stop trying to mix with whites.
Adrian Taylor
lol, you're an absolute nigger
Evan Cook
There are probably no more than a hundred worldwide. And most likely not in positions of much importance.
Anthony Perez
explain how, communist faggot.
Daniel Perry
I thought it was another kony post, from a distance.
Samuel Wilson
Same, desu. It's easy to lionize a dead man. Hell, I don't think that'd be possible in a white country. Not over such a ridiculously short timeframe.
Matthew Baker
Leftists never shut the fuck up about this guy because he's one of the few competent African statesmen they can point to. The fact that they're rarer than unicorns doesn't occur to them
Jason Morgan
If anything we want African nations to actually succeed so they don't have to be sent millions in aid each year while their people flee the country to Europe. Imagine if refugees in Africa actually had a successful african country to go to find work instead of thinking their only option is to leave the continent.
Zachary Sanchez
so what are the official reasons for which they smoked him?
Christopher Bailey
I liked everything about him, but all that shit cost money and foreign resources.
He didn't produce millions of doses of vaccine and all the machinery needed for construction by socialist magic. Even though he wasn't exactly an USSR puppet, they obviously gave him sweetheart deals on a lot of things.
Grayson Allen
>He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military I guess nobody's perfect, eh
Aiden Barnes
So he was the Hitler of Africa?
Henry Gomez
der ewige frog
Isaiah Rodriguez
>JewIA holding blacks down Sounds about right

Christian Rogers
>Gets wacked by second in command for French Gibs
Ironic, he could combat the nigger in himself but not the nigger in others
Juan Price
>take over Africa >create random countries with fake borders to trap random ethnicities together >fund civil wars and invade when any country shows signs of unity and potential sovereignty >there's unrest and power struggles >"omg look they are so incompetent LOL" Thank god the English will be demographically wiped out in a matter of decades. You truly deserve it.
Leo Garcia
>good Ofc it's good for you. Need to keep niggers coming in to satisfy your wife's needs >USSR blah-blah, commie blah-blah
Levi Gray
Sounds like a communist senpai.
Easton Ward
>gets killed in western coup >"WHY AREN'T THERE MORE LIKE HIM LOL STUPID AFRICANS"
Luke Carter
Glowies and Frogs killing good pan-African leaders like Sankara and Gaddafi harms all Africans and the average westerner, only at the benefit of the (((western))) elite.
Jordan Long
there must be a way to lead a country and NOT get epsteined by glow niggers, just being a people's person can't be enough criteria to get this much attention.
William Davis
This is a problem Africa has, all the good leaders get killed, or swamped by the shit. French need to fuck off aswell, should throw their lot in with the British to spite the french. But they use french language, so they have quite a grip on the country. Honestly speaking, i can sorta see why blacks flood france. Still, it's the elites that's at fault. Macrons french + Africa is stupid and not going to work, he's bluring the lines because he thinks africans can be 'french'.
Lucas Powell
sounds like a based leader, too bad he is a nigger
Luis Rivera
this thread reeks of /leftypol/ raid. more unnatural responses than landlord threads.
Brayden Lewis
>Macrons french + Africa is stupid It was actually de Gaulle's idea. France has been pursuing this since post WW2 because they decided they NEED integration with Africa to stay relevant
Yeah, Macron in with the program. They know they have lost Africa to the Chinese, or to actual africans. Wasn't Gaulle complaining about non whites in France? Saying not everyone can be a frenchman?
Austin Thomas
It's too late now. Sankara was a product of colonialism, the intellectual cadre Europe left behind is long gone.
The smart ones being born now have no time for this fancy shit, they haven't had a classical education and don't even know Marx. They either take the few spots available on top as mercenary capitalists or corrupt officials, mostly creaming off foreign aid, or they emigrate.
Maybe if France and the CIA hadn't played spygames in Africa so much a few more African nations could have picked up on what colonial powers left behind ... but the boat has sailed.
Jose Baker
Wasted digits.
Anthony Taylor
Nah, French influence over West Africa still eclipses China's. China is more heavily involved in East Africa.
Julian Williams
it's totally not their ape like IQ at fault
Joseph Jones
For no, rather i should say China will dominate if trends continue, economically atleast. Still, the Cronoa has thrown a massive wrench in the whole plan, who knows what peices going to be left standing after this shitshow.
Evan King
he was a good man
Lucas Cruz
Oh wooooow look it's barely human.
The fuck do you want, a cookie?
Owen Roberts
>Sankaras successor after the coup de tat immediately rejoined the imf Fucking hate the west and their cia glow nigger puppets SSSSSSS
And he did much to improve his country until he was stopped.
Cooper Cooper
because if they become sovereign and independent then you can't boss them around anymore and you can't demand your weekly BBC shipment
Adrian Myers
If they too smart they'll nationalize mines and shit, they gotta go, my man, sorry.
Grayson Bailey
It means soon you'll be laughing ...
The IMF is going to collapse. Argentine is going to default again, Greece is still a clusterfuck etc etc. The Washington consensus worked when the global economy was growing, now we are running into limits on growth it's all falling apart.
Take those loans while they still have money to spend.
Nicholas Jackson
He wanted himself and his people in Africa, that's why frog and glowies killed him. If leaders like him were common then europe wouldn't get the BBC it needs.
Chase Perry
Lekker cash money, bitches!
Lucas Perez
Mostly because of the glow niggers and French politicians with delusions of empire.
Somehow it's always the French most enthusiastic in backing up the CIA in fucking up places in Africa. Most recently Libya.
Christopher Hughes
if niggers ever did well they'd kill everything that moves
