Civil society organizations are organizing commemorations.\u00a0\u00a0But the Zongo family is not alone in demanding justice. Those close to former president Thomas Sankara, killed 29 years ago, are also waiting for justice, but without much hope, since the leading suspect, ex-president Blaise Compaor\u00e9, still has long reach even if he was chased from power two years ago by a popular uprising.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hopes of justice in the two cases were kindled after the uprising at the end of October 2014 that ousted Blaise Compaor\u00e9, who had been in power for 27 years. Popular anger was stirred when he tried to change the Constitution to secure himself yet another term in office. After he was chased out, a one-year transition led to presidential and legislative elections which were hailed as free and fair. But ensuring the success of the polls has for a while taken precedence over the thirst for justice, which was one of the things that sparked the 2014 uprising. Two years on, the victims are becoming impatient.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned investigative journalist Norbert Zongo and the three people travelling with him were killed on December 13, 1998. Their bodies were found in their burned out car, 100 km from Ouagadougou. Judicial authorities have not yet provided a motive for the attack, but it is popular knowledge that Zongo was investigating the death under torture of David Ouedraogo, driver of President Blaise Compaor\u00e9\u2019s brother Fran\u00e7ois. The journalist\u2019s murder provoked a strong outcry in Burkina Faso and beyond. Given the scale of the protests, an independent commission of inquiry was set up. It pointed to \u201csix serious suspects\u201d, all members of the presidential guard. But only one was indicted, before the case was dismissed.<\/p>\n<h3>Zongo inquiry relaunched<\/h3>\n<p>It was not until people close to Zongo and the Burkina Faso Movement for Human and People\u2019s Rights (MBDHP) went to the African Court of Human and People\u2019s Rights (ACHPR) that the case was reopened. In July 2015, the ACHPR ordered the State of Burkina Faso to pay 356,000 Euros to the victims\u2019 relatives. This decision \u201chas been fully executed by the State,\u201d says B\u00e9n\u00e9wend\u00e9 Sankara, a lawyer who heads the Sankarist party (which has joined the new government majority). It nevertheless took five months, more than the deadline set by the ACHPR, and an open letter to the Prime Minister for the money to be disbursed.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, the ACHPR ordered that investigations into these murders be reopened. The investigations have not been easy. Burkina Faso\u2019s judicial authorities announced a year ago, just before the 17th anniversary of Norbert Zongo\u2019s death, that three former soldiers of the Presidential Security Regiment (RSP) were being put under investigation. Their names are not new to the case, since they are among the \u201csix serious suspects\u201d named by the independent commission of inquiry. But the victims\u2019 friends and relatives and their lawyers, who believe Fran\u00e7ois Compaor\u00e9 was behind the murders, say they are small fry.<\/p>\n<h3>A year of silence<\/h3>\n<p>And for the last year silence has again fallen on this case. Fran\u00e7ois Compaor\u00e9, who has fled, has not been troubled. It is not known how the investigations are progressing. Judge Moriba Traor\u00e9, secretary general of the country\u2019s union of magistrates (SBM), says there is a communication problem. \u201cWe have not yet managed to put a communication mechanism in place,\u201d he says. \u201cSo even if there has been some progress, people think nothing has moved. We cannot make everything public, but we are looking at how we can communicate so everyone has a minimum of information.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Ben\u00e9wend\u00e9 Sankara invites people to be patient so as to avoid \u201cjudicial errors and cheap justice\u201d. He says he is not worried \u201cbecause there is no longer a political block as we had under the regime of Blaise Compaor\u00e9\u201d. Abdoulaye Diallo, who heads the Norbert Zongo press centre, does not agree. \u201cI am fed up with things not moving forward\u201d, he complains. \u201cWe do not understand why they are stagnating.\u201d He says he is \u201cangry\u201d\u00a0and \u201coutraged\u201d and that there is at least a \u201clack of political will\u201d to move this case forward. For the last year, \u201cthings have not progressed at all, so far as we know, and that is intolerable\u201d, says Chrysogone Zougmor\u00e9, president of the MBDHP. \u201cIt is now two years since Blaise Compaor\u00e9 left. We cannot understand the government\u2019s attitude. If it had expressed strong will, the case would have moved forward. It is disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Sankara case and obstacles abroad<\/h3>\n<p>The case of Captain Thomas Sankara, an icon of Burkina Faso, was also reopened after the popular uprising. The former president and twelve of his companions were killed on October 15, 1987, in the coup d'Etat that brought Blaise Compaor\u00e9 to power.<\/p>\n<p>Who gave the order to kill the military captain and President? No-one can say for certain, but grave suspicions hang over Compaor\u00e9. Prosper Farama, the Sankara family lawyer, says that since Compaor\u00e9\u2019s fall \u201cwe should recognize that there has been much progress, given that there have been indictments (14) and expert reports. Some 100 witnesses are also said to have been heard\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Obstacles remain, however. Nineteen months after the alleged remains of Thomas Sankara and his companions were exhumed, there is still no confirmation on whether the bodies are theirs. Expert examinations in Marseille, France, did not identify any DNA. A second expert investigation was commissioned in Spain in July 2016, but has not yet issued its conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>That is not all. It became known in October that military judicial authorities, who are in charge of the case, have requested the lifting of defence secrecy in France. Many supporters of Thomas Sankara think that France, whose interests Sankara was upsetting, hatched or took part in the coup d'Etat during which he was killed. The Sankara family lawyers are not very optimistic. \u201cWe are not very hopeful,\u201d says Guy Herv\u00e9-Kam, case lawyer for Balai Citoyen, a civil society organization that played a key role in Compaor\u00e9\u2019s ouster. \u201cBut at some point there will perhaps be people in France who remember that France is also the country of human rights.\u201d The biggest obstacle is perhaps in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire. Suspect Number 1, Blaise Compaor\u00e9, has taken refuge there and is close to the Ivorian president Alassane Ouattara. Compaor\u00e9 is charged with \u201cmurder, hiding corpses and threatening State security\u201d. Burkina Faso has issued an international arrest warrant and officially requested cooperation from C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, but so far in vain. \u201cWhatever the decision handed down, if Blaise Compaor\u00e9\u2019s version of events is not heard, the case will be incomplete,\u201d says lawyer<\/p>\n<p>Farama, who thinks Compaor\u00e9\u2019s failure to appear points to him having ordered the assassination. \u201cFor me it is clear, especially if he does not deign to come and offer an explanation to the judges.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How far will the government\u2019s goodwill go?<\/h3>\n<p>It remains to be seen how far the new authorities will push the case, given that some of them have links with the Compaor\u00e9 regime. The NGO International Crisis Group (ICG) warned in a <a href=\"https:\/\/d2071andvip0wj.cloudfront.net\/burkina-faso-transition-act-II-french.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> in early 2016 that \u201cimpunity and injustice, if they persist, could quickly push the people of Burkina Faso to take to the streets again\u201d. But, it adds, \u201csince the new authorities sprang from the old regime, some judicial cases that could compromise the new government may never reach a conclusion\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can we not suspect them today of doing everything to stall this case?\u201d asks lawyer Farama. \u201cThey need to demonstrate that such suspicions are unfounded. But up to now, I do not think they have done that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 13 marks 18 years since the assassination of journalist Norbert Zongo in Burkina Faso.
