Noël X. Ebony

Noël X. Ebony, whose real name was Noël Essy Kouamé, was born in Koun-Fao, in the east of Ivory Coast, on a date that the sources do not fix. Trained in journalism in Dakar from 1973, he wrote for Fraternité Matin and Ivoire Dimanche, was a correspondent of the monthly Demain l'Afrique, then editor-in-chief of Africa International. A critic of the Houphouët-Boigny regime, he lived in exile in Paris before settling in Dakar, where he died in July 1986. The prize that rewards the best Ivorian journalists each year bears his name.
