  • On 4 August 1983 a coup d'état was launched in the Republic of Upper Volta (today Burkina Faso) in an event sometimes referred to as the August revolution (French: Révolution d'août) or Burkinabé revolution. It was carried out by radical elements of the army led by Thomas Sankara and Blaise Compaoré, against the regime of Major Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo. Ouédraogo had been brought to power in a 1982 coup with the Conseil de Salut du Peuple (CSP), a body composed of military officials of different ideological backgrounds. The CSP chose Sankara as Prime Minister of Upper Volta in January 1983. As his tenure progressed, Ouédraogo found himself unable to reconcile the conservative and radical factions of the CSP, whose disagreements were leading to a political stalemate. On 16 May he purged his government of pro-Libyan and anti-French elements, disbanded the CSP, and had Sankara and several other important officials arrested. This move sparked discontent among Sankara's supporters. Sankara was eventually released while one officer, Compaoré, began to organise military resistance to the government. Tensions continued to increase until 4 August when Compaoré launched a coup, leading 250 paratroopers in a march on the capital, Ouagadougou. Sankara attempted to broker a political compromise with Ouédraogo, but Compaoré's troops seized the city before this was done and captured Ouédraogo. Sankara became the new President of Upper Volta and created the Conseil National de la Revolution (CNR), a new governing body consisting mostly of populist junior officers. (en)
  • Le coup d'État de 1983 en Haute-Volta a eu lieu le 3 août 1983 en République de Haute-Volta (aujourd’hui Burkina Faso). Il a été mené par des éléments radicaux de l’armée dirigée par Thomas Sankara et Blaise Compaoré, contre le régime du colonel Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo, lui-même arrivé au pouvoir lors d’un coup d’État en 1982 contre le général de division Saye Zerbo. Après plusieurs coups d’État consécutifs et tentatives, Ouédraogo allait prendre le pouvoir en 1982. Il ne restera cependant pas longtemps au pouvoir. Une grande protestation contre son règne a commencé le 17 mai, après qu’il a purgé le gouvernement de plusieurs éléments radicaux, dont le capitaine Thomas Sankara. En quelques mois, il a été destitué lors d’un coup d’État dirigé par le capitaine Blaise Compaoré, qui a offert la présidence de son ami proche Sankara. Après le coup d’État, une période de transformation sociale commencé en Haute-Volta. Le 04 Aout 1984 la Haute Volta a rapidement été rebaptisé Burkina Faso par le président Sankara, qui a travaillé à son développement vers le socialisme. Il sera au pouvoir pendant quatre ans jusqu’au 15 octobre 1987, date à laquelle Compaoré lance un coup d’État réussi contre son ancien collègue. Compaoré restera au pouvoir du Burkina Faso jusqu’en 2014, date à laquelle un soulèvement a été lancé contre lui, le forçant à fuir le pays. (fr)

  • Военный переворот в Верхней Вольте, также Августовская революция (фр. Révolution d'août) и Демократическая народная революция (фр. Révolution démocratique et populaire) — захват власти в стране, осуществлённый 4 августа 1983 года группой левоориентированных военных под командованием капитана Блеза Компаоре. Причиной переворота стал арест популярного в армии и народе премьер-министра страны Тома Санкара, осуществлённый президентом Жаном-Батистом Уэдраого под давлением Франции. В результате переворота правительство Уэдраого было свергнуто и освобождённый из-под ареста Санкара возглавил Национальный совет революции — коллегиальный орган власти, начав серию широкомасштабных реформ, продолжавшихся до его свержения и убийства в 1987 году.
