The exhumed remains of Burkina Faso's beloved ex-president Thomas Sankara, whose 1987 murder shocked the West African nation, were laid to rest at a ceremony in the capital Ouagadougou on Thursday.
The charismatic Marxist revolutionary, known as "Africa's Che Guevara", was gunned down along with 12 others during a bloody coup led by his former ally and successor Blaise Compaore. He was aged 37 at the time.
