<h2>Who is the Upright Man?</h2>
<p>Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara was a Burkinabé revolutionary and President of Burkina Faso from 1983 to
1987. A Marxist–Leninist and pan-Africanist, he was viewed by supporters as a charismatic and iconic
figure of revolution and is sometimes referred to as "Africa's Che Guevara"</p>
</article>
<h2 id="headline">Here's a timeline of Captain Sankara's life:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>1949</strong> - Born in Yako, French Upper Volta.</li>
<li><strong> 1966</strong> - Enters the military academy of Kadiogo in Ouagadougou with the academy's
first intake.</li>

(Madagascar), trains beyound standard military subjects, studies
agriculture, including how to raise crop yields and better the lives of farmers.</li>

years, he rises through the ranks.</li>
<li><strong>1981</strong> - Accepts appointment as Minister of Information in his nation's military
government. Differentiates himself from other government officials in many ways, while his
predecessors would censor journalists and newspapers, he encourages investigative journalism
and allow the media to print whatever it found. </li>
<li><strong>1982</strong> - Resigns on 12 April 1982 in opposition to what he saw as the regime's
anti-labour drift, declares "Misfortune to those who gag the people!"</li>
<li><strong>1983</strong> - Becomes the Prsident of The Upper Volta. Orients his policies toward
fighting corruption, promoting reforestation,
averting famine and making education and health real priorities.</li>
<li><strong>1984</strong> - Renames the country from Upper Volter (a name given to her by the French authorities in the colonial era)
to Burkina Faso, meaning "the land of upright people" in Moré and Dyula, the two major languages of
the country. Gives it a new flag and writes a new <a

rel="noopener noreferrer">national anthem (Une Seule Nuit)</a>.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><strong>1985</strong> - Launches a mass vaccination program in an attempt to eradicate polio,
meningitis and measles. roughly 2 million Burkinabé were vaccinated. Prior to his presidency, infant
mortality in Burkina Faso was about 20.8%, during his presidency it fell to
14.5%.</li>
<li><strong>1986</strong> - During this time, production of cotton and wheat increased dramatically.
While
the average wheat production for the Sahel region was 1,700 kilograms per hectare (1,500 lb/acre),
Burkina Faso was producing 3,900 kilograms per hectare (3,500 lb/acre) of wheat.
</li>
<li><strong>1987</strong> - Creates food self-sufficiency. States "Our country produces enough to feed
us all. Alas, for lack of
organization, we are forced to beg for food aid. It's this aid that instills in our spirits the
attitude of beggars.". He goes on to ban female genital mutilation, forced marriages and
polygamy in support of women's rights and gender equality.</li>
<li><strong>1987</strong> - Dies at the age of 37</li>
</ul>
<article id="about">
<p id="italize">He may have had his flaws like every other man but his positive work in mapping a
self-sustainable route to African success is undoubtedly proof of a legend at work. His ideas live
on! In his own words, “While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas.” <br>
20 years after his assassination, Sankara was commemorated on 15 October 2007 in
ceremonies that took
place in Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Niger, Tanzania, Burundi, France, Canada and the United
States.
