Constantinople, not Istanbul.

Not sure how the Ottoman 'empire' still seems to control Fyrom/Albania and other stuff there, when it lost the rest of Europe and half of Anatolia

Give it time.

Everyone should have a dashboard camera.

Because if this guy didn't have one absolutely no one would believe that he saw this.

Uhm, that's complete junk, produced by a known "revisionist" (who is afaik - remarkably - without priors to this day, albeit many of his buddies have been convicted under §130 StGB).

 

[Monsterzuma]

Summarize it one word.

Yes. I know it's revisionist. And no doubt a lot of it is junk, as you say. Even so, it's good to get another perspective. You never know, as Hitchens has pointed out, whether there might not be a grain of truth in it all.

Thomas Sankara was an amazing man.

I've never heard of him before.

Don't have time for the video, atm:

Solidarity
He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers.

He reduced the salaries of well-off public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets.

He redistributed land from the feudal landlords to the peasants. Wheat production increased from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.[5]

He opposed foreign aid, saying that "he who feeds you, controls you."[5]

He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against what he described as neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance.[5]

He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting.[5]

In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army's provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country).[1]

He forced well-off civil servants to pay one month's salary to public projects.[1]

He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes.[6]

As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer.[6]

Style

A motorcyclist himself, he formed an all-women motorcycle personal guard.

He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen.[5]

He was known for jogging unaccompanied through Ouagadougou in his track suit and posing in his tailored military fatigues, with his mother-of-pearl pistol.[1]

When asked why he didn't want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied "There are seven million Thomas Sankaras."[6]

An accomplished guitarist, he wrote the new national anthem himself.[1]

And he was assassinated at 37?

There you go!

He didn't really have time to become properly corrupt like Gaddafi.
