Keita, Modibo (1915–1977)

Mali politician, president of the Independent Republic of Mali 1960–68. A pan-Africanist (see pan-Africanism) radical who was influenced by the Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah, he was deposed in a military coup led by Moussa Traore and imprisoned until his death.

Keita was educated at the William-Ponty Lycée in Dakar, Senegal. In 1946, he was a founder member of the Rassemblement Démocratique Africaine (RDA), a cross-national African political party that sent representatives to the French National Assembly. Keita represented Sudan in 1956–58. In 1958 he was elected president of the Constituent Assembly at Dakar, and in the following year president of the Council of the Mali Federation.
