Gaddafi even visited Ouagadougou with 450 bodyguards in                                                                        December 1983. - Shared Ideals: Both leaders espoused anti-imperialist and pan-African views, with Sankara attempting to radically transform Burkina Faso through his "Democratic and Popular Revolution".
