What's great today is that it's the artists who are keeping the flame of the revolution alive. - Odile Sankara

Unfortunately, men aren't ready to let go. Liberia set an example with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. She steered the ship well, so it's possible. There are women who are capable of taking the reins of power, but I don't think the mentalities are read.

Yes, I am indeed the younger sister of the late President Thomas Sankara. You know, it's really difficult to answer the question you're asking me. The man has so many facets that it's difficult to talk about him so easily. However, one of the great memories I have of him is that of his love for his people. Sankara loved his people more than anything. What helped him in this struggle was because he was free of all possessions and all gain. He was not one of those who loved profit. In our continent today, our leaders want to enrich themselves first before thinking of the people. With Sankara, it was quite the opposite. Material goods were never a lure for him. Sankara died poor. I also retain the image of a leader who wanted change, a brother full of love and humor.

I believe that the Sankara family, thank God, has remained itself. It retains the image it always had before, during, and after Sankara. This is a strength because it allows us to perpetuate the image of Thomas Sankara. Despite the fact that by force of circumstances it is dispersed today, it has remained united and tries to preserve the values ​​that Thomas so well embodied during his lifetime: love, integrity, and fairness.
