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. In 1983, Sankara and Compaorรฉ launched a coup against Burkina Faso’s military regime by Jean-Baptiste Ouรฉdraog...

Atwoli Citizen TV Interview: What More Predictions did the 'Prophet' Make?

Those who said things were different on the ground, that was day-dreaming and we have many people suffering from daydreaming disease - Atwoli.

COTU SG Francis Atwoli 

Nine months since his botched prediction on the 2020 US Presidential election in which he had 'forseen'  Donald Trump second-term victory, COTU Secretary General and the deep state spokesman, Francis Atwoli, was back on Citizen TV's JKL show on Wednesday with more rants and dubious predictions.

Among the issues he spoke on, was on the backfired prediction where he blamed the George Floyd debacle saying it marred Trump's chances of winning. Why 'Prophet' Atwoli hadn't foreseen it coming during his prediction, he did not say. 

Back home, Atwoli spoke at length on an array of simmering topics of the day currently hanging on the Kenyan political landscape as we summarize below in Atwoli's own words.

...On BBI

I predicted that county assemblies would vote for BBI and you have seen it has come to be.

BBI is good for Kenya. Devolution is good for Kenya. Everyone is a winner with BBI. People feel they belong to this country because of Devolution.

There are no losers in the BBI process…Those who had contrary views are entitled to their opinions.

Those who said things were different on the ground, that was day-dreaming and we have many people suffering from daydreaming disease, not just (Senator Irungu) Kang’ata.

Maybe it is a protest by MCAs against Gideon Moi. MCAs are leaders and they need to be talked to…Gideon must move closer to grass root leaders, walk with them, recognize them.

I tell you, at 10AM, the referendum will have carried the day.

If BBI goes through, we will be on the negotiating table…and I will be on that negotiating table myself.

...On Ruto's Gains in Mt Kenya

Every community has its own leaders. People will listen to what their leader says. When Uhuru went to Sagana, he changed everything in one day.

Question: How do you explain the crowd that follows DP Ruto while in Mt Kenya?

If crowds were to make one a leader, Matiba would have been a President before he died…Don’t be deceived by the crowds…At the end people listen to their leaders.

I can tell you for free, there is no way anyone can dislodge Uhuru Kenyatta from the Mt Kenya region.

...On 2022 Succession Politics 

I do not know who will be the President in 2022 but I know who will not be even if his manhood is doubled. 

I wish the DP had good advisors and would still be supporting all of President Uhuru’s projects.

People come to my ranch for consultation. I am not a king-maker but I am an elder.

If you want to be a political advisor, take time to learn the behavior of others… Do not dismiss Raila Odinga because of his age. If he decides to run for president, it will be something else as he has many supporters.

Leaders come to my ranch to consult. I lead workers in Trade Unions.

...On Political Endorsements & Alliances 

On the issue of being endorsed- Why do people want to be endorsed? A leader emerges. A leader shows the way. A leader is seen.

If somebody endorses you, they can continue endorsing you even to your own house…Politics is mathematics, not endorsement.

Political alliances are prompted by events… We are not yet there.

Alliances are prompted by situations…When we start focusing on 2022, many things will begin to take shape.

...On Mike Sonko's Downfall

Mike Sonko had a lot of potential but money went into his head…Personally, I tried to talk to him.
