Extremely disappointing to see this, this is not a Sankara thing to do at all.

    I think a lot of people want to project Sankara onto him, partially because he emulates parts of his style and rhetoric. But if you were a military leader of course you would be inspired by your country’s most famous and inspirational modern figure. He’ll likely be better in terms of breaking away from neocolonial arrangements with France, but time will tell what else will happen, stuff like this included.
