Thomas Sankara did not set a fixed target percentage for women in the army in the sources I found. What he clearly did was push for women’s active inclusion in national life, including the military, but I did not find a reliable source giving a specific “women should be X% of the army” figure.

What is known

  • Sankara promoted women’s emancipation and encouraged women to work in public service and the military.
  • He is widely described as supporting broader gender equality reforms in Burkina Faso.
  • The available source I found mentions recruitment of women into the military, but no exact quota or percentage.

Likely interpretation

If your question is asking for a quota , the safest answer is: there is no well-documented percentage commonly attributed to Thomas Sankara in the sources I found.

In plain words

He wanted more women in the army , but I cannot verify a precise number from reliable public sources.
