A government delegation from Ghana travelled to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on May 17, 2025, to attend a ceremony held in honour of the late African revolutionary leader, Thomas Sankara.
The event marked the opening of a memorial park and the unveiling of a statue dedicated to his legacy.
Thomas Sankara, a former military officer and Pan-Africanist, led Burkina Faso as president from 1983 after taking power in a coup.
He served until his assassination in 1987 at the age of 37, along with twelve of his colleagues.
