Un 15 de octubre de 1987, Thomas Sankara, líder anti-imperialista de Burkina Faso, el Che Guevara africano, era asesinado a los 37 años por Francia y EEUU por luchar por la independencia de su pueblo.
El imperialismo lo descuartizó y luego tiraron sus restos a una fosa común, durante años los medios occidentales en su propaganda lo tildaron de corrupto... pero cuando revisaron sus pertenencias, Sankara no tenía dinero en el banco y vivía en una vieja casa donde apenas tenía 2 guitarras, unos libros y una bicicleta.
Mataron a Thomas Sankara por sus grandes logros y su ejemplo de dignidad a toda África, porque se negó a pagar la deuda colonial a Occidente y llevó a su pueblo a unas cotas de vida inimaginables.
En sólo cuatro años en el poder (1983-87), Thomas Sankara conquistó enormes logros para su pueblo:
-La Burkina Faso de Sankara fue el primer pais africano en investigar al VIH como una amenaza para África, realizando una masiva vacunación sin precedentes, vacunó a más de 2 millones y medio de burkineses (la mayoria niños) contra la polio, meningitis, rubeola... en UNA SEMANA.
– Inició una campaña de alfabetización masiva a nivel nacional, aumentando la tasa de alfabetización del 13% en 1983 al 73% en 1987, un 60% de alfabetismo en 4 años, construyendo al menos 350 nuevas escuelas.
– Plantó más de 10 millones de árboles para evitar la desertificación, una de las campañas ecologistas más masivas en la historia de África, siendo el primer líder africano en lanzar una campaña masiva contra la sequía.
– La misma población burkinesa bajo el liderazgo de Sankara construyó sus casas, sus carreteras, sus vías de ferrocarriles.... sin "financiación" extranjera, para no endeudarse ni depender del imperialismo.
– Nombró a las mujeres para altos cargos gubernamentales, creó un dia de la mujer trabajadora donde el marido era obligado a ir a la compra para acabar con la esclavitud doméstica, promovió la introducción de la mujer en el mercado laboral, las reclutó en el ejército y les concedió licencias por embarazo de 6 meses después del parto.
– Prohibió la mutilación genital femenina en el pais, los matrimonios forzados contra las niñas y también la poligamia, en apoyo de los derechos de la mujer.
– Redistribuyó la tierra de los terratenientes feudales y se la entregó directamente a los campesinos, lo que hizo que la producción de trigo aumentara en solo 3 años de 1700 kg por hectárea a 3800 kg por hectárea, haciendo que el país fuera autosuficiente en alimentos.
-Vendió toda la flota de lujosos Mercedes-Benz que tenia el gobierno anterior e hizo que el Renault 5 (el coche más barato en Burkina Faso en ese momento) fuera el coche oficial de toda la delegación del gobierno.
-Sankara impuso fuertes recortes... pero no al pueblo, sino a los politicos, recortó todos los sueldos a los ministros y les hizo volver a sus sueldos normales de su antigua profesión, les prohibió viajar en primera clase en los aviones, juzgó a los corruptos e hizo todos los sueldos del estado públicos.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers reportedly had a text thread competing to pull over the most Black drivers, while using racial slurs in discussions about force against Black residents. More than half a dozen officers have reportedly been recommended for termination or quit.
A badge should NEVER be a license for discrimination! These allegations call into question traffic stops and use-of-force incidents involving these officers!

🚨 HEROES CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Four BLACK MEN rush to rescue a WHITE WOMAN after seeing a WHITE MAN FORCE her into the back of a vehicle to attempt to allegedly KIDNAP her.
The disturbing footage appears to show the woman screaming for help as the man pushes her inside.
That’s when four bystanders intervene, pull her from the vehicle and physically confront the attacker.
FOUR MEN HEARD A WOMAN CRYING FOR HELP AND REFUSED TO STAND BY AND WATCH.
These men deserve recognition for stepping in when someone needed help.
This woman is 104 years old.
She’s seen 18 presidents in her life.
Listen to what she says about Trump.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows an AI-generated woman, not a real 104-year-old person. The originating YouTube upload states all visuals are AI-created.

Hey Black folks,
Do you have “liberal” white friends? If so, do they “love” you like they love their dog?
This story is for you.

Unfortunately, a lot of vendors get caught up in situations like this with wealthy individuals or companies who don't pay their bills. Trump famously doesn't pay his bills & bankrupted vendors.
A Bay Area restaurant owner says Elon Musk’s SpaceX owes him $70,000 for two dinners he catered in Palo Alto. “That’s not even a penny for them,” he said.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré is the interim president and military leader of Burkina Faso, having seized power during a coup d'état on September 30, 2022...
Captain Ibrahim Traoré stood before his people and broke a silence that has lasted for over a thousand years. He spoke about the Arab slave trade. Not in whispers. Not in academic papers. But out loud, in a televised address, to a nation that is overwhelmingly Muslim.
"The people came, first the Arab-Muslim conquests. That is over a thousand years of slavery in Africa." He did not stop there. He spoke of men castrated so they could not father children. He said the last slave market did not close until 1962, in Medina.
This is not an attack on Islam. Traoré is a Muslim himself. This is an attack on a historical crime that has been buried while the transatlantic slave trade is discussed everywhere. He is saying what the entire continent has been afraid to say: that Africa was enslaved by two systems, and only one of them is allowed to be remembered.
The reaction was immediate. Gulf states were furious. Some Muslim clerics called it Islamophobic. But Traoré was not finished. He also announced that Burkina Faso would recall hundreds of students studying Sharia law in Arab countries, warning that some return with teachings incompatible with national cohesion. He said the state is secular, and no religious law—including Islamic law—will govern it.
Why does this matter? Because the Sahel is burning. Jihadist groups are killing civilians, and the ideology they use to recruit is a distorted version of the same faith that Traoré himself practices. He is not blaming Islam. He is blaming a radicalism that was imported, funded, and spread from outside Africa. By naming the Arab slave trade, he is severing the spiritual authority that foreign clerics have held over African Muslims for centuries.
He asked one question repeatedly during that speech, a question that should be printed on every African schoolbook: "Are we cursed?" His answer is no. Africa is not cursed. Africa was conquered, colonized, and enslaved by two different systems. One from the West, one from the East. And the only way to break the curse is to name it, teach it, and refuse to let it be silenced any longer.
