Burkina Faso: French President to Declassify Documents on Thomas Sankara's Death
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

French President Emmanuel Macron is in West Africa for a three-day tour.
On Monday, Macron visited Burkina Faso-a nation formerly colonized by
France-where he promised to declassify documents related to the
assassination of former leader Thomas Sankara. Sankara, who was often
called "Africa's Che Guevara," was killed in a military coup in 1987.
