He says that in this capacity, the father of the Revolution had entrusted him with the mission to write documents on three points: the creation of a party that would bring together all the sensitivities of the revolution and of which he would be the secretary general,make the defense committees of the civil revolution.He therefore, after writing, presented the document to President Sankara who amended him and asked him to make two copies: a copy for Blaise Compaoré and another for himself Salifou Diallo.The said document was to be discussed on October 15, 1987 at 4 p.m.

Around 3:15 p.m., the witness continues, Kiemdé Frédéric would have come to pick him up for the meeting.President Sankara calls him, and tells him to go to Blaise Compaoré's home to recover his amendments before returning to the meeting.The witness says he has buried his motorcycle and went to Blaise Compaoré's home around 3:40 p.m.It was this detour to the home of Blaise Compaoré who saved his life, supports the witness, otherwise he would be among the victims if he had gone to the council with Kiemdé Frédéric."If Thomas Sankara hadn't sent me, I would have died with Kiemdé Frédéric since we were in the same vehicle for the presidency," he said.

Once at the home of Blaise Compaoré, according to Salifou Diallo, he came out the document in hand, and was showing him his amendments when they heard shots.Compaoré then asked if they are shots.When the second wave of shots was heard, everyone took hold.Blaise Compaoré then said that it was the elements of Sankara who were shooting his own.An assertion that intrigued the witness, since Compaoré seemed surprised at the first shots.

When the shots stopped, Salifou Diallo says he was sent by Blaise Compaoré to the home of Étienne Traoré.Having not found it, he is again sent to Gabriel Tamini.Both are responsible for helping the military on the radio correct their press release.Aid that they would have refused, saying "that they also did school".Salifou Diallo claims to have stayed on the radio until the next day October 16.

And on October 16, Blaise Compaoré organized a meeting during which he explained that the elements of Thomas Sankara wanted to attack them, they left to stop them and there were deaths.A thesis in which the witness believes, until it is sent by Blaise Compaoré, to give a letter written by hand to an African president whom the witness did not want to name.The recipient of mail after reading would have expressed itself in these terms "that is like that when we attack old people. He remains the batard of Accra".Blaise Compaoré would have given him the order not to repeat these words to anyone if he had his life.Salifou Diallo also said in his deposition, not being the author of the press releases of the Popular Front and the speech of Blaise Compaoré.He said that the first press release of the Popular Front was read before he arrived on the radio on the day of the facts.

The hearing was suspended after reading the deposition of the late Salifou Diallo.She will resume tomorrow January 11 at the Ouagadougou military court with the deposition of Diallo Moussa and other witnesses who were not available.Conviction parts will also be presented with the appearance of experts.

The Sankara family council, Me Prosper Farama, also informed the court of what the family will no longer deposit under the victims.President Sankara's wife is suffering and is not sure to be able to return to the country as soon as possible.As for the brothers and sisters of the father of the Revolution, they wished not to deposit in court.
