| Summary: | Burkina Faso, Africa, October 15, 1987. Automatic gunfire breaks the evening's silence and kills President Thomas Sankara.

His main argument was also one of the assassins: Sankara had lost all sense of reality and was leading the Revolution into chaos. It needed to be rectified. But who really was behind his rectification and why? Dark forces from France, the former colonial power, envying neighbor states, wealthy business interests? |
