Russia-Africa Summit 2026 : President Putin paid tribute to Thomas Sankara during his speech today in Moscow, by saying: I would like to recall the words of the great son of the Burkinabe people, Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and first President of Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara. He said: "Debt is neo-colonialism, in which colonizers transformed themselves into “technical assistants”. Under its current form, that is imperialism-controlled, debt is a cleverly managed re-conquest of Africa, aiming at subjugating its growth and development through foreign rules." He added: these words were spoken not so long ago, though not yesterday either – back in 1987. Unfortunately, little has changed since then. Thank you president Putin, for saying it the way it is.

Russia says 85% of its commercial deals with Africa are now in rubles. "National currencies protect our ties from outside influence," Putin said at the Russia–Africa summit. Russia has military and military-technical agreements with 45 African countries. It also trains African soldiers and police. Meanwhile: 18 million tons of grain to Africa in 2025, 13 million more in the first nine months of 2026. Fertilizer shipments over 2.2 million tons. Putin's pitch: Russia and Africa are "natural allies" in building a multipolar world — with more African representation at the UN Security Council and global financial institutions. Since 2023, Russia opened 8 new embassies in Africa. Total: 48.

They assassinated Sankara for calling out debt. The West got mad because it's true. Cancel the debt, break the IMF leash.

The abduction, abuse, and enslavement of Africans by Europeans for nearly five centuries dramatically altered the global landscape and created a legacy of suffering and bigotry that can still be seen today. TheTransatlanticSlave Trade eji.org/report/transatlantic…

Sincerely this has nothing to do with president of Russia's speech, it is the duty of all African leaders to change their mindset which tells them that without them Africa can't move.

And , like so many African heroes, Sankara was assisted by those same colonizers.

Томас Санкара сказал это десятилетия назад, и, к сожалению, его слова до сих пор звучат очень остро. 💯 Африке не нужна новая форма зависимости — ей нужна свобода строить собственное будущее. История порой напоминает нам, что некоторые битвы на самом деле так и не закончились.

Pretending to help, yet creating or funding the opposite. But…think positively about their greed & corruption. Psalm 49:17 For when they die, they take (((nothing))) with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.

And unfortunately, Nigeria is still busy subjecting itself to such debts ridden neocolonianism due to its irresponsible leadership style run by unscrupulous people. – at Karu, Nigeria

True sons and daughters of Africa are real but few. Th traitors & saboteur are too many all over the continent, Working extra mile only for the interest of their puppet master . Reason Africa continues to suffer even with abundance resources all over with youthful population!!!

Putin is a wise man because he knew Africa would emerge greater and greatest among all within soon enough

In other words, any nation who gives loans of any kind, and any country who takes these loans are being controlled by a country with neo-colonial aim. Is that it ?.

Why I will never hate Russians , if it was to be the west , they would have demanded that the AES deploy their army to fight Ukraine

如果我们选择了最能为人类而工作的职业，那么，重担就不能把我们压倒，因为这是为大家作出的牺牲；那时我们所享受的就不是可怜的、有限的、自私的乐趣，我们的幸福将属于千百万人，我们的事业将悄然无声地存在下去，但是它会永远发挥作用，而面对我们的骨灰，高尚的人们将洒下热泪。

Voila ce qu'à déclaré Thomas Sankara a propos du #SaharaOccidental 🇪🇭 et du #Maroc 🇲🇦 a l'#ONU 🇺🇳. C'est a des kilomètres de ces pseudos panafricain marionnettes téléguidé par les puissances occidentales ! ce qui est dommage c'est que leur peuple ne s'en rend pas compte !
