Connaissez-vous l'histoire d'Alfa Yaya Maudo de Labé, qu'on appelait "le roi" de Labé ?
Né au milieu du 19ème siècle dans le village de Fulamori, en Guinée, l'histoire nous apprend qu'Alpha Yaya fut l'un des plus grands résistants à la colonisation française que l'Afrique ait jamais connu. Pour lui rendre hommage, l'hymne national de la Guinée est une adaptation d'un chant composé en son honneur par un griot vers 1903. Le camp militaire "Alpha yaya Diallo" porte son nom et son nom figurait sur le billet de cinquante francs de la monnaie guinéenne lors de sa création le 1er mars 1960.
