Mamadou Dia

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Mamadou Dia (born July 18 1910) was the first prime minister of Senegal. Educated at École William Ponty, Dia was a radical socialist whose policies contrasted sharply with the more moderate President Léopold Sédar Senghor. He was accused of plotting a coup in 1962, an offense which led to his sacking and imprisonment until 1974. Dia attempted to restart his career in the early 1980s, but the small party he led found little support. He is currently in retirement.
