When admiring great African statesmen, I think Mandela was a deception to me. The real African leader has been Robert Mugabe so far, although he screwed up lately... So far, I think no one beats Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara; a Marxist revolutionary, pan-Africanist theorist, and President of Burkina Faso between 1983 to 1987. He was a selfless military captain. His revolutionary programs for African self-reliance made him an icon to many of Africas poor. A week before his murder, he declared: While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas. These words will stand the test of time. Looking around, do we still have such Pan-Africans?
