On June 7, 2025 we held this conversation with Denise Ouedraogo and Wendlassida Fabrice Simporé of the Thomas Sankara Center based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Our conversation begins with a discussion around Thomas Sankara and his importance in the recent history of Burkina Faso. We then focus on some of the most recent developments in Burkina Faso including the government of Ibrahim Traoré as the Burkinabé people continue to struggle for sovereignty and social justice.
