1.3 COLLABORATORS OF
SANKARA
For the well identified sources, it- would be necessary can be
to recognize the influence of certain collaborators of Sankara on the thought
of the leader. Intellectuals, intellectual guides of the revolution
burkinabé, lent certainly to Sankara their ideas for the development of
its political program. Among them, Babou Paulin Bamouni, ideologist of the
mode, General manager of the newspaper industry of Burkina are the author of a
work entitled Burkina Faso, Processus of the revolution,
« the first political interpretation and Marxist of the events
which preceded by far or of close the great upheaval of August 4,
1983 ». In Bamouni, can join Valère D. Somé, one
of the closest companions of Thomas Sankara, principal leader of the Union of
the Communist Fights/Reconstruite (U.L.C./R) former member of the political
office of the National Council of the Revolution. This last is the author
of Thomas Sankara, the assassinated Hope. In the portrait which it
draws up of the revolutionist, Valère Somé privileges the image
of Sankara, defender and spokesman of oppressed. It is to say the narrow
symbiosis of the analyzes and the ideas existing between the collaborator close
relations of Sankara and that which governed the destiny of the women of
Burkina.
Sankara it learned a lesson from the acknowledgment of failure
stated by Mirabeau in full revolutionary upheaval : « As
long as the women do not interfere themselves, it there not of true
revolution » ?
Thus in its contents, the speech sankarist on the
female condition draws its sources from the last revolutions and the
fundamental texts which melt the Marxism-Leninism. However Sankara prints its
own mark in its theoretical analyzes. The specific conditions of the African
woman are not those of the woman of the XVIIIe century in France or XIXe
Russian. The adaptation of a theoretical framework to different historical
realities is well the work of Sankara.
