It was death of a great country with great ideals (it's a different matter how did these ideals find their realization) and replacement of it by real "Upper Volta with missiles" (as now it's not quite an insult but rather quite truthful representation: 75% of exports are mineral resources). So it can be quite unpleasant to recall them one more time :)
Quite likely many people wouldn't like to remember those times...
