It is around a panel with the main theme “How can Burkina Faso, 40 years after the RDP, draw inspiration from the experience of the great Sankarist revolution?” », that the Action Framework of Revolutionary Movements and Associations for Access to Endogenous Development (CAMARADE) and the Thomas Sankara Memorial Committee intend to participate in their own way in the commemoration of the 40 years of the revolution.
To listen to Samdpawendé Ouédraogo coordinator of CAMARADE in addition to the main theme, several sub-themes dealing with endogenous development, sovereignty, the fight against imperialism will be dissected. ” We cannot develop as long as we have not drawn on endogenous resources to move towards development that is inclusive, participatory development… We believe that the conclusions of this work will be able to contribute to the march of the transition. “, he specified.

It should be noted that the panel is under the patronage of former head of state Yacouba Isaac Zida. Justifying himself on the choice made for the man, Samdpawendé Ouédraogo explained that it is ” in view of its attachment to the revolutionary principle. When his Excellency was in power, it was through his courage, it was through his determination that we were finally able to have the outcome of the Thomas Sankara case. It was under him that after 27 years of struggle, progressives from here and elsewhere, we finally saw the outcome through his commitment, his determination and that at the cost of his life.
We felt that the best way for an organization like us is also to pay tribute to him. Often you have organizations that are there only when the strong men of the moment are there that they shine. We don’t want that. If President Thomas Sankara was alive we would even take him as the patron of the ceremony. If we claim to be Sankarists, it is because these men embodied values ».
The coordinator of CAMARADE added that in addition to the commemoration, training is planned for 500 internally displaced women on income-generating activities so that they acquire a certain financial independence.
