UPRIGHTNESS BETRAYED

The Assassination of Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso and the Suffocation of Hope in Africa

De: Janvier T. Chando, Janvier Tchouteu

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In this magical account, Janvier T. Chando brilliantly establishes the threads that made the young Thomas Sankara one of Africa’s iconic leaders in the twentieth century, and the revolutionary changes he brought to Burkina Faso that transformed it into Sub-Saharan Africa’s most self-reliant country.

The author leads the reader hand-in-hand to the path of the trail of the young Sankara’s catapult into the limelight of Burkina Faso’s politics, his travails, his rise to power as the head of state, and his lucid notion of his mission. Sankara comes across as one of those rare African presidents who accepts power as a cross that must be borne without complaint, and not as a dream come true.

The story was well written and clearly explained

The book itself is awesome- very informative and non-biased. The virtual reader was good, until it had to read numbers. it was not able to read the numbers. Please fix that.

Excellent primer on an underrated African leader

Good content but ai voice glitches hampered the listening experience. There is one glitch where it legit sounds like a machine having an orgasm trying to read a number. Worth a listen but please fix the audio.
