Soman: Article is long enough and created same day as DYK submission. Article was well-sourced and neutral. QPQ done. The hook is pretty humorous. However, the source to the hook is unopenable, and according to the limited searching I can do
here, the name "Adama" does not appear, so I do not think that source is adequate for this hook. Additionally, in the article, the section "Influence on Sankara" is almost entirely quotations; I feel this information is able to be, and should be, paraphrased to help presentability and avoid unnecessary block quotes.

Regarding the reference
Afrique nouvelle p. 9, this is the quote "BURKINA VERS LE CONSENSUS NATIONAL ? Adama Touré , ancien minis- tre de l'Information du pre- mier gouvernement du Conseil national de la Révo- lution ( CNR , au pouvoir ) , a été libéré , le 3 février , en même temps que son homo- nyme , un dirigeant syndical , a - t - on appris de bonne source à Ouagadougou . Les deux personnes avaient été arrêtées en octobre 1984 . L'ancien ministre avait été accusé d'avoir mené une << campagne de dénigrement contre la suppression de l'impôt forfaitaire » , décidée par le CNR en faveur de la population , et [...] Adama Touré : liberté retrouvée . Le second , syndicaliste , est par ailleurs le frère cadet de l'ancien secrétaire général de la Confédération syndi- cale voltaïque". The ref is important as it is clear that there were 2 different Adama Toures released on same day. I don't know why the snippet search isn't working well, I'm also having problems searching inside the text. Search passages from this quote in google books directly. --
