  3. Out with the old: Muhammadu Buhari first took over Nigeria’s leadership after a military coup in 1983.

    Then, in 2015 he did it again – the democratic way this time. Under his watch, the economy has barely grown, Nigerians continue to leave for anywhere else, and unemployment is at record levels.

    Voters will pick his successor next Saturday, 25 February. (Image: Nigerian Presidency) #Nigeria #TheContinent #nigeriadecides2023

Unveiled in May, the mausoleum - meant to be more of a venue, a meeting place rather than just a memorial - is part of a wider effort to honour the legacy of #BurkinaFaso's former revolutionary leader #ThomasSankara, who led the country between 1983 and 1987.
