Biography

Coulibaly was born in 1953 in Kiniéran, French Guinea.

In 1969 he attended the Jean-XXIII seminary of Kindia, Guinea, and in 1979 he entered the Grand Seminary Pierre-Claver de Koumi in Burkina-Faso.[1]

In 1979, he was ordained as a deacon in the Diocese of Kankan and ordained a priest on May 8, 1981.

In 1993, he was appointed Bishop of Kankan, and in 1994 he was consecrated a bishop by Robert Sarah (Archbishop of Conakry).
