If he had not been murdered by traitorous cowards he would be 73 years old today.
“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. Besides, it took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen.” -Thomas Sankara
Only 73? Really brings into perspective how extremely recent historical figures like him are. In a just world, he wouldn’t be history yet 😢🫡
Three years older than Putin. Almost twenty years younger than Yeltsin and Gorbachev. Yeah.
Putin is 70? I thought he was in his 50s, huh. Our world leaders all belong in a nursing home.
