How CIA, French Intelligence Agency Conspired to Assassinate Thomas Sankara

On April 6, 2022, Burkina Faso’s ex-President Blaise Compaorรฉ was tried, convicted and sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment for murder. It  took 35 years for justice to catch up with him for murdering his revolutionary socialist predecessor, Thomas Sankara (the “Che Guevara of Africa”), in a 1987 right-wing military coup.  How  long will justice take to catch up with the CIA and its French intelligence counterpart, the Direction gรฉnรฉrale de la sรฉcuritรฉ extรฉrieure (DGSE), for what appears to have been their part in masterminding or enabling the plot that overthrew and killed Sankara? As young military officers in Burkina Faso during the 1970s and 1980s, Thomas Sankara and Blaise Compaorรฉ were the best of friends. The two traveled the country playing in a musical band together and Sankara’s parents adopted Compaorรฉ as his parents had died when he was young.

Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen has made a rare and bold move at Jubilee party headquarters on Friday over disloyalty cases involving three Nairobi City nominated Members of county Assembly.

Murkomen arrived at the party headquarters on the aforementioned day to represent Anita Thumbi, Sylvia Museiya and Millicent Jagero who were recently issued with showcase letters to appear  before a disciplinary committee over accusations of acting in a manner that contravened the rules of the political outfit.

The vocal senator noted that he was defending the trio from being cowed to succumb to unconstitutional autocratic directives issued by the party. 

"Currently at Jubilee Party HQs to appear before the Jubilee Party National Disciplinary Committee on behalf of Nairobi MCAs Hons. Ann Thumbi, Sylvia Museiya and Millicent Jagero being intimidated with trumped up charges to coerce them to violate the Constitution of Kenya," said Murkomen in a Friday's Tweet.

This follows after the party, through its Secretary General Raphael Tuju summoned the three MCAs for a hearing and a possible disciplinary action against. 

Earlier on, Thumbi reacted to her showcase letter which required him to appear today (Friday) to answer to charges of disrespecting and undermining the party leadership.

She had thrashed the summons, arguing that she was being witch-hunted over her allegiance to deputy president Dr William Ruto, her stand on BBI report and the plan by her colleagues to impeach embattled governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko.
