The speech given by Italian parliamentarian Marco Pannella in 1984 during his meeting with President Thomas Sankara gives an idea as to how the CNR came to an end: “Mister President, please hear me out. We have just met. I don’t know Blaise Compaoré and the other leaders. Should you refuse to draft and adopt a constitution, and to get elected, your own are bound to kill one another. Simple minds will hail the dead and vilify the living… but the truth will lie elsewhere. It is inscribed in the course of your joint action. You are but in the midst of acting out a Greek tragedy.” Citations in Basile Guissou, Burkina Faso, un espoir en Afrique, l’Harmattan, (Paris 1995, pp 75-76)
