"The transformation of our mentality is far from complete. There are still many among us who take foreign norms as their point of reference in judging the quality of their social, economic and cultural lives. They live in Burkina Faso yet refuse to accept the concrete reality of our country. For the new society, we must have a new people, a people that has its own identity, knows what it wants and how to assert itself, and understands what will be necessary to reach the goals it has set for itself. Our people, after four years of revolution, are the embryo of this new people. The unprecedented decline of passive resignation among our people is a tangible sign of this. The Burkinabè people as a whole believe that a better future is possible. On this level, we have even managed to convince reactionaries of yesterday - people who today, caught up in the gears of history’s forward march, join us in looking to the future with optimism, forgetting that only yesterday they were preaching submission to imperialism and perpetual begging as a way to develop the country." Thomas Sankara
