Thomas Sankara. Thomas Sankara Speaks
Preface
Introduction
Who are the enemies of the people?
A radiant future for our country
Power must be the business of a conscious people
Building a new society, rid of social injustice and imperialist domination
The People’s Revolutionary Courts
There is only one colour – that of African unity
Our struggle draws strength from Cuba’s example and support
Asserting our identity, asserting our culture
Our White House is in Black Harlem
Freedom must be conquered
Dare to invent the future
The CDRs’ job is to raise consciousness, act, produce
What is the Nonaligned Movement doing?
A death that must enlighten and strengthen us
Against those who exploit and oppress us – here and in France
The revolution cannot triumph without the emancipation of women
A united front against the debt
We can count on Cuba
Our revolution needs a people who are convinced, not conquered
Eight million Burkinabè, eight million revolutionaries
You cannot kill ideas

Since 4 August – a date that has now become historic for our people – in response to the appeal of the National Council of the Revolution, Voltaics have taken initiatives to equip themselves with CDRs. CDRs have thus been established in the villages, in urban neighbourhoods, and will soon be in workplaces, in public services, in factories, and within the army. All this is the result of spontaneous action by the masses. Work must now be done to structure them internally on a clear basis and to organise them on a national scale. The National General Secretariat of the CDRs is currently taking up this task. While waiting for definitive results from studies currently under way based on accumulated experiences, we will limit ourselves to outlining the plan and the general guiding principles for the functioning of the CDRs.
