OwayenguMengameli wase-Burkina Faso uBlaise Compaoré ugwetshwe udilikajele ngeqhaza lakhe ekubulaweni kukaThomas Sankara ngo-1987.
UBlaise kwakumele alandele uThomas esikhundleni futhi wayengumsekeli wakhe omkhulu.
Kuqhume ihlembo ngesikhathi inkantolo yase-Ouagadougou ikhipha isigwebo sikaCompaoré.
USankara wayeyiqhawe le-Pan-Africanism umbuso wakhe waketulwa umngani wakhe uCompaoré.
Lo mholi osemusha onothando wazuza ukunconywa ezwenikazi lonke ngezinqubomgomo zakhe zezenhlalakahle kanye nokudelela amazwe aseNtshonalanga.
Wahola uhlelo lokwabiwa kabusha komhlaba kanye nokufakwa ngaphansi kombuso olwanconywa emhlabeni wonke futhi lwashintsha elinye lamazwe ampofu kakhulu emhlabeni.
Kodwa-ke, wayesolwa ngokuhlukumeza amalungelo abantu abaphikisana naye kanye nokubukela phansi inkululeko yezwe yabezindaba.
Ngemuva kweminyaka emine ephethe uSankara wadutshulwa wabulawa.
UCompaoré kuthiwa ubeyigwema imibuzo ngokufa kukaSankara, futhi wanqaba kaningi ukugunyaza ukumbiwa kwesidumbu sakhe ukuze kuphenywe ngokubulawa kwakhe. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni kube nemibuzo ngeqhaza lakhe ekubulaweni kwakhe.
Ngo-2014, uCompaoré waketulwa umbuso owawudumile futhi wabalekela e-Côte d’Ivoire, lapho ahlala khona ekudingisweni.
Akulindelekile ukuthi adonse isigwebo sakhe sasejele maduze, njengoba i-Côte d’Ivoire isizinqabe kaningi izicelo ezivela e-Burkina Faso zokuthi abuyiselwe ezweni.
