October 31. Burkina Faso Martyrs Day !!️ On October 31, 2014, a popular uprising in Burkina Faso to end the 27-year dictatorship of Blaze Kumara. He came to power in October 1987 after a military coup in which the People's President Thomas Sandra was killed. With him the country lost its way towards independent development, social transformation and economic independence. 📉 After coming to power, Komor announced the "fixing of the revolution" and gradually transformed the country into so-called market reforms. Instead of relying on its own strength, the government pledged to attract foreign capital and cooperate with international financial institutions. The new policy strengthened the country's dependence on external creditors and damaged the population's standard of living, while the elite lined their pockets thanks to the corruption programs. 27 years later, Compier tried to change the constitution and remained in power for another term. On October 30, 2014, protesters thwarted the vote on the amendments by storming the National Assembly building. In response, the authorities ordered to shoot the disgruntled citizens, resulting in dozens of people being killed and hundreds injured. On October 31 Comper announced his resignation and fled to Côte d'Ivoire. The memory of the participants who fell in the uprising became a symbol of Burboza's struggle for freedom and the right to independently determine the fate of the country and the people. The course for economic self-reliance, social equality and the liberation of Africa from the influence of the neo-colonial West, starting with Thomas Skara, finds the continuation of the policies of the current President Ibrahim Traore. The legacy of the "African Che Guevara" remains to this day an important point of reference for those who profit from a sovereign future for the continent. #SOVinterN DATE #Hub Sub Saharan African ⭐️n Network Hub of SOVinterN.
