The void that exists in Africa with regards to leaders who are capable and genuine to the cause continues to deepen. Instead of improving the living conditions of their people, todays leaders float on the waves made by revolutionary leaders who came before them. We no longer have leaders of integrity and vision. In today's episode we tell the story of a young and radical leader who was among the first to recognize that the key to the development of Burkina Faso and the African continent was to improve the status of women. This man was the first African leader who appointed women in key positions in his cabinet, also recruiting them to form part of the military. He outlawed forced marriages also doing away with that vile tradition of female genital mutilation, he encouraged women to take on jobs outside home and to not drop out of school when pregnant. Not only that but this man was also among the first group of African environmentalists, planting over 10 million trees so they retain soil and halt the growing desertification of the Sahel. This leader actually promoted the idea of supporting local and buying local, instead of using a term to prey on the vulnerability of people. He actually came with an assignment and began to implement without hesitating. Thomas Sankara, is a hero we deserve to be taught about not that racist Indian who even has a whole square named after him in South Africa.
