The Revolutionary Who Trusted Everyone Was Killed By His Best FriendAjouté :
The revolutionary who trusted everyone was killed by his best friend. It's 1983, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. A young captain seizes power with a promise to transform Africa's poorest nation. He vaccinates 2.5 million children in 1 year, plants 10 million trees across the desert, bans female cutting, makes his country feed itself without foreign help. He rides a bicycle to work, cuts government salaries in half, sells the presidential fleet, and buys the cheapest car available. His people love him. France fears him. And for 4 years, he builds a revolution. But his policies threaten French business interests.
Secret meetings begin in Paris. They need someone on the inside. His closest friend, Blaise Compaoré, has fought beside him for years, shared every dream, every plan. French intelligence makes their approach quietly. October 15th, 1987, a routine government meeting is called. He arrives without bodyguards, trusting as always. Gunshots ring out in the conference room. The revolution dies with its leader. His best friend walks out alive, now president. The revolutionary who trusted his best friend was Thomas Sankara.
