Overview
Burkina Faso, West Africa. October 15, 1987. Automatic gunfire breaks the even night’s silence and kills President Thomas Sankara. Had the assassins been sent by his brother in arms, Blaise Compaoré, with whom he had launched the Marxist Burkina Revolution a few years before, and who took control of the country right after the assassination?
