Burkina Faso ex-president Compaoré to face trial over murder of Thomas Sankara

Late Burkina Faso military leader, Thomas Sankara

By NOEL EBRIN BROU
Blaise Compaoré, the former president of Burkina Faso, is to stand trial for the murder of Thomas Sankara, the man who he ousted in 1987, a military tribunal has announced.
Mr Compaoré was forced into exile in 2014 after he attempted to change the law to extend his rule. A warrant for his arrest was issued in 2015.
A military tribunal on Tuesday indicted him for “attack on state security, complicity in murder and concealment of corpse”.
Thirteen other people were among those charged along with the former president.
The warrants “to bring defendants not yet detained” were issued early Tuesday, one of the accused’s lawyer told news agency AFP.
Sankara, often called the African Che Guevara, was a hugely popular leader and has become a cult figure. (Text, excluding headline, courtesy BBC)
