| Endgame for Sankara's murderer: Burkinabés move against Blaise Compaore in a giant 1 million-match |
At last Burkinabés have been able to muster enough courage to move against their 'eternal' leader Blaise Compaore. Compaore, who led the coup d'état that overthrew Burkina Faso's visionary leader, Thomas Sankara, has ruled the country for 27 years. Burkinabés organised a massive rally against plans by Compaore to further extend his rule of the country. AFP reports that thousands of demonstrators with some wielding iron bars and stones battled police in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso capital on Tuesday.
