Philippe Zinda Kaboré
Philippe Zinda Kaboré (born November 18, 1920 in Koudougou , Upper Senegal and Niger , today Burkina Faso , † May 25, 1947 in Abidjan (Ivory Coast)) was a politician from the West African state of Upper Volta , today's Burkina Faso.
Zinda Kaboré, son of a local traditional Mossi village chief , completed his training in Bingerville ( Ivory Coast ) as well as at the École normal William Ponty and at the medical school in Dakar ( Senegal ). On November 10, 1946 he was elected to the French Parliament together with Félix Houphouët-Boigny as one of three members of the Ivory Coast colony. The greater part of the Upper Volta colony, which no longer existed at that time, belonged to the Ivory Coast at that time. He died just a few months later, on May 25, 1947, in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) on the way to Paris at the age of only 27. There were rumors of poisoning, but doctors diagnosed a heart attack.
One of the most important high schools in the country is named after him.
