🇧🇫Burkina Faso’s first president Thomas Sankara, was assassinated on October 15, 1987:

‘We must make sacrifices. And those sacrifices must begin with the leaders themselves.

In our country, ministers are not allowed to fly first class. They must fly economy class.

We got rid of luxurious cars. Our ministers have to use very small cars which are economical, so that the people can recoup the money saved and use it to build dispensaries for our population’s welfare.
