Ted-Ed should learn a very valuable lesson from the comment section that whitewashing history to make it palatable to who ever, is like spitting in the face of the well researched views. be careful not to drift so far from the actual truth the you isolate the vastly informed supporters. You omitted so so so many more important facts and politics of Sankara's life.

This is ridiculous liberal/imperialist nonsense. 'Banning trade unions' -- not all trade unions are left wing. Moreover, penetrating them and using them to undermine socialist governments is a classic imperialist move. 'Banning the free press' -- The press is not free. It's owned by capitalists who use it to undermine socialist governments. Sankara did nothing wrong.

His most important legacy was gender equality, are you serious? you think that was more important than the planting of trees, alleviation of poverty and non-reliance on as little aide as possible? We know gender equality was important but not as food because in most homes the women had some level of control

he wasn't killed for his authoritarianism, he was killed because he threatened french authority in Burkina Faso and his anti-corruption legislation made corrupt gov. officials lose money. French officials have admitted to having organized the assassination together with Compaore

Blaise Campora was himself a dictator, albeit a supported from France. He ruled Burkina Faso for 24 years, I'm appalled the video did not mention his long tenure as president though democratically elected but nevertheless through control and fraud.

Ya'll had me up until the revisionist description of his increasingly authoritarian policies. All governments are authoritarian in nature, how else are laws and regulations enacted? Rest in power, Comrade Sankara.

Actually he allowed a bit of free economy. Which was strange for a communist at the time.
He didn't kill if it wasn't needed: he didn't kill the precedent leader of then Upper Volta.
He was a great leader

One of the few Marxist-Leninists that i have respect for. It is a shame he went down the path of authoritarianism. That is after all pretty much what all Marxist-Leninists do as far as i am aware.

Littered with biases regarding those so-called capitalist peers. If you don't plan to be honest with the circumstances he had to face then don't bother. Preserve the integrity of Africa history!
