Biography

Zinda Kaboré, the son of a chief of the traditional village Mossi, was a student at Bingerville, Ivory Coast and Dakar, Senegal. On 10 November 1946, he was elected, along with Félix Houphouët-Boigny and Ouezzin Coulibaly, as one of the three deputies of the colony of Ivory Coast in the French National Assembly. He died a few months later, on 25 May 1947, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast at the age of 26. Rumor maintained that he was poisoned, but doctors determined that he had had a heart attack.
