Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (News of The South) – In a poignant and powerful gesture, Mariam Sankara, the widow of the iconic Burkinabè revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara, has penned a deeply personal letter to Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the country’s current transitional leader. The letter, revealed through sources close to the Sankara family, expresses gratitude for Traoré’s recent honoring of Thomas Sankara’s legacy, while also offering a message of caution and hope for the nation’s future.Thirty-seven years after Thomas Sankara’s assassination, his widow, Mariam, who endured decades of silence and exile, was deeply moved by the unveiling of a bronze statue of her husband in Ouagadougou, commissioned by Captain Traoré. The statue, a symbolic act of reclaiming Sankara’s memory, has resonated profoundly within Burkina Faso.



“Dear Captain Traoré,” Mariam Sankara’s letter reportedly begins, “when I heard about the statue you built for Thomas, I cried, not out of sadness, but out of joy. I have no words to add to all that you have done.”Her words capture the emotional weight of decades of erasure and the subsequent reemergence of her husband’s legacy. Following his assassination in 1987, Thomas Sankara’s name was systematically removed from public discourse, his books burned, and his vision dismissed. Mariam Sankara described her experience as living like a “ghost in her own country.”The statue, however, has served as a powerful symbol of restoration. “It brought her husband’s memory out of the shadows and into the light,” sources close to Mariam Sankara reveal. A visit to the statue, where she touched the cold bronze, provided a moment of profound connection with her late husband.Beyond gratitude, Mariam Sankara’s letter also carries a message of warning and hope. While acknowledging Traoré’s efforts to invoke Sankara’s ideals, she reportedly urged him to remain true to the principles of justice, integrity, and the welfare of the Burkinabè people that her husband championed.The letter also emphasizes the importance of unity and reflection. With Burkina Faso facing significant challenges, including security threats and economic hardship, Mariam Sankara’s words carry significant moral weight. She called for the transitional government to prioritize the needs of the people and to ensure that Sankara’s vision of a self-reliant and just nation is not betrayed.The presence of children gathering around her during her visit to the statue, eager to learn about Thomas Sankara, highlights the enduring relevance of his legacy. Mariam Sankara’s letter, therefore, serves as a bridge between the past and the present, a call for the current generation to embrace the ideals of their revolutionary hero.Captain Traoré’s response to this deeply personal and significant letter is eagerly awaited. It is expected to play a vital role in shaping the political dialogue and direction of Burkina Faso as it navigates its transitional period. Mariam Sankara’s intervention underscores the enduring power of Thomas Sankara’s legacy and its continued relevance in the nation’s quest for a brighter future.
