Solidarity with the people of Burkina Faso as they refuse to be run by a man who, not only killed his brother of heart and education Thomas Sankara, but wants now to stay in power after 27 years. The military seem to take things in hand, denying the Constitution, with Honore Traore who is similar to the one he wants to replace.
Solidarity with the population of “the land of upright people” …
I hope they will free themselves from the dictators and the military and eventually decide their fate in both a transparent and corruption-free way!
With all the strength of my conviction, I add my support to the people in the streets against such corrupt African powers.
People of Burkina Faso, do not give up and pave the way for other African countries with strength and dignity. For freedom and honour. With determination and courage.
