Capitaine Thomas Sankara [2012]




⁣A portrait comprised of material from the archives of Thomas Sankara, President of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination in 1987. Through his desire to liberate his country and transform his fellow citizens' way of thinking by questioning the world order and challenging the authority of those with power at that time, he made a mark on both African history.

On May 11, 2026, African delegates convened in Nairobi, Kenya, for the Africa Forward Summit 2026. The summit was co-chaired by Kenyan President William Ruto and French President Emmanuel Macron, its theme: “Africa–France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth”. On paper, this summit marketed itself as a “paradigm shift” in Africa-France relations aimed at building “equitable”, “mutually respectful” partnerships between the two geopolitical entities.But the antics of President Macron during the summit’s proceedings, the curious timing of the event itself, and the arrests of anti-imperialist activists and international delegates in Nairobi, who staged a peaceful protest against this summit, paint a very different picture.One which makes little sense in light of France’s claimed newfound affection for Africa, but makes perfect sense in the light of history.

In Kmtyw (Black People) societies, when a child grows and reaches his/her puberty, a rite that supports their transition from childhood to adulthood is celebrated. DIPO (coming out or outdooring) among the Krobo of Ghana is an example of one in a million.

⁣Last summer my wife, daughter and 3 of our Grandkids while
in Columbia visited San Basilio de Palenque, the first free settlement of
formerly enslaved Afrikans in the Americas who fled a life of enslavement.
Contrary to most history books, Ayati’s (Haiti) independence in 1804, occurred
more than 100 years after Palenque. Palenque is a unique place, famous for its Kmtyw
culture, language (unique blends of Portuguese, English, Twi, Gullah Geechee,
etc.) gastronomy and, of course, its HISTORY. They highly embrace education and
a very low crime rate. Uniquely all children must learn how to box, eliminating
‘beefs’ and other frictions, they are settled at the boxing facility.

They use the equivalent to the Mbongi, it’s called a Ma
kuagro. A communal meeting space that’s both a physical place and a social
institution, where the community gathers to deliberate, educate, provide aid,
resolve conflicts, decision‑making and maintain cultural
continuity.

A nation sits on edge, its nerves stretched thin by fear, uncertainty, and questions that refuse to go away.

Chief Tola Adeniyi speaks with the weight of experience of a man who has watched Nigeria evolve through its most defining moments. His voice is critical, it is alarmed. He points to what he believes is a dangerous trajectory, accusing those in power of fueling the very insecurity that now grips the country.

From the rise of banditry to the deep fractures within the Nigerian state, he paints a picture of a system under strain. But beyond the accusations lies something penetrating, a philosophical reflection on Nigeria itself. Can a nation survive when its structure works against its own people? Can a country stand when its foundation is contested?

Tola Adeniyi is a former Editor-in-chief of the Daily Times and Tribune newspapers.
