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.

President Kagame's Former Economic Advisor Formulating Ruto's 2022 Winning Strategy

For decades now, presidential hopefuls have been staking their political lives on tribal jingoism and regionalism but William has come forth with a new style of politics which is pegged on social-economic cleavages.

The man from Sugoi is no doubt a main pole in Tanga Tanga camp but he is standing courtesy of other rafters. Ruto is surrounded with think tanks and strategists who tell him what to do, when, how and where. 

One of the brain boxes behind Ruto's pragmatic political moves is the former economic advisor to Rwandan president Paul Kagame. The former NASA strategist has made a name as a columnist, theorist and economic strategist and his acumen was recently awarded when he was ranked the best African economist.

The brain box previously served as an a counsel to Kagame in recovering Rwanda's nosediving economy. Ndii has billed himself as anti-Dynasty crusader and to see the latter loses in 2022, he has joined forces with William. 

Having worked with notable leaders in Africa and beyond, David sure knows a thing which if embedded to Ruto's 2022 strategy, will see his first shot hitting the set target.
