THIRTY-FIVE years ago this month, one of Africa’s greatest revolutionaries was murdered by former comrades.
“The African Che,” as he was known, was shot down in a coup d’etat by soldiers who were rebelling against his socialist transformation of Burkina Faso, a landlocked and poor remnant of the French colonial empire in west Africa.
He is less well known than Che, but his legacy across Africa is immense. T-shirts with his image on will appear all over Africa on demonstrations, picket lines and protests, but of course he is much less celebrated in the West.
