The President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré assured this Saturday morning, on national radio that the political orientation speech of his illustrious predecessor Captain President Thomas Sankara remains relevant. The Political Orientation Speech of President Thomas Sankara is "a reference that some countries in our sub-region have used to develop. They have drawn a lot from this speech. It remains relevant, we draw inspiration from it and we adapt it to our current context because there are things from 1983 that can no longer be done today," said President Ibrahim Traoré. The Head of State was responding live to a question from a Radio Burkina listener during a major oral from the Koulouba presidency in Ouagadougou. It was on the occasion of the second year of his arrival in power on September 30, 2022. According to him, "Thomas Sankara was too far ahead of his time and all this meant that he was not understood." "He saw things that others did not have the possibility of seeing. We have the same vision f or total sovereignty of our country," he maintained. Source: Burkina Information Agency
