What goes around comes around.
I can only imagine what Burkina Faso would be today if Thomas Sankara were to remain in power. Honestly, whatever happens to Blaise Compaore at this point, I don't care. He killed his friend to be in power, and then wrecked the country. As far as I'm concerned he is not a good person. What comes around goes around, so I hope he doesn't think he will remain untouchable after going around murdering people and misruling.

After learning so much about Thomas Sankara in class I am interested to see how this plays out. It seems that there is wave going through Africa now where the people are beginning to fight for a voice against unworthy rulers
