    Thomas Sankara and Muammar Gaddafi had a complex relationship built on shared ideals of pan-Africanism and aimperialism.                                                                                                                             Here are some key points about their connection.                                                                                                                                Initial Close Ties: After Sankara seized power in a 1983 military coup, Gaddafi provided aid and support, seeing an opportunity to extend Libyan influence in sub-Saharan Africa. 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". Gaddafi supported Sankara's vision, aligning with his own plans for African unity.
