It is with great emotion and profound dismay that we, members of the family of the late President Thomas Sankara, have learnt of the horrible news regarding the desecration of the tomb of Thomas Sankara in the cemetery of Danoen in Ougadougou. In the face of such an unspeakable horror, we can only express our rage and indignation, but also our firm condemnation of this act. Attacking the burial place of Thomas Sankara is, without a doubt, an insult to his memory and to those who are buried close by. It leaves one to speculate that the authors of this barbaric act wanted to tarnish this great man, who even in death, continues to humiliate the authors and financiers of his assassination. Beyond the disgrace of this act, which is contrary to the secular values of Burkinabé society, it is symptomatic of the denial of justice that continues to mark his assassination. More generally, it demonstrates the impunity which characterizes the regime of Blais Compaore.
