Thomas Sankara Age, Birthday, Zodiac Sign and Birth Chart

Thomas Sankara was a Burkinabé revolutionary and president of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. Known for his Marxist-Leninist and Pan-Africanist views, he led a significant transformation in the country, emphasizing social, ecological, and economic reforms. Renowned as 'Africa's Che Guevara,' Sankara changed the nation's name, promoted self-sufficiency in agriculture, launched education and health campaigns, and advocated for women's rights. His anti-imperialist policies included avoiding foreign aid and nationalizing resources. Despite popularity, his bold actions alienated some groups and led to his assassination in 1987, shortly after asserting that ideas cannot be killed.
