Sankara was appointed Minister of Information in Saye Zerbo's military government in September 1981.

After a coup (7 November 1982) brought to power Major-Doctor Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo, Sankara became Prime Minister in January 1983. But he was dismissed a few months later, on 17 May.

A coup d'état organized by Blaise Compaoré made Sankara President on 4 August 1983 at the age of 33

See? There are many examples!

Also important to note that it was a revolution that was tossed out the window in like five years because the guy who organized the first revolution wanted a new one.
