- Nairobi, Kenya - This Entry is Tagged
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.

The University of Nairobi alumnus plunged into the political terrain in 2017 after being nominated as a Legislature.

As Kenyans celebrated Christmas, Sankok took to his Facebook page with a heartwarming remark celebrating the input of his father in his life.

He also shared a clip that displayed him introducing his wondrous family to the public.

His feathered appreciation towards his father, in a way, mirrored the birth of Christ and how he was revered despite his father working as a carpenter.

"My father may not be known but he is known by God, he may not have been prominent but created in the image and likeness of God. He is not educated but he is naturally talented. The father of Jesus was never known because he was just a poor carpenter but his son Jesus is celebrated every year by billions of people. I am proud of my obscure background," stated Sankok.

His father delivered a fiery speech drumming support for Ruto's 2022 presidential bid. He stated that Ruto had a hand in Sankok's ascension to power and that ever since he has been praying for him to become the next president.

He further divulged how he struggled to secure bursaries for the lawmaker. According to him, Sankok's disability barred him from getting bursaries that would have allowed him to swiftly go through the patterns of formal education.

The clip concludes with Sankok offering up his family an opportunity to introduce themselves. Here is the video link
