Description
In a letter read out to the media by the government spokesman former president Blaise Compaoré asked the family of Thomas Sankara and the Burkinabe people for forgiveness for all the crimes committed under his rule. In Ouagadougou, the opinions of Burkinabè citizens are mixed, they consider the manner and sincerity of the former head of state Blaise Compaoré's request for pardon. If they had simply put at the end of the letter, 'I place myself at the disposal of my country's justice system', I would have applauded." says one passer-by. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
