Sankara is often referred to as "Africa's Che Guevera". Sankara gave a speech marking and honouring the 20th anniversary of Che Guevera's 9 October 1967 execution, one week before his own assassination on 15 October 1987.

In the haunting darkness of October 15, 1987, a terrible plan unfolded that would change history forever. Thomas Sankara, a brave and inspiring leader, became a victim of a wicked plot—a sneaky coup dietat led by his former friend, Blaise Compaorie.

Compaorie betrayed Sankara, accusing him of harming relations with France and Ivory Coast and making people doubt Sankara's true intentions. He falsely painted Sankara as a heartless killer, scheming to get rid of his political opponents with cold-hearted malice.
