About Ibrahim Coulibaly
- Ibrahim Coulibaly (24 February 1964 – 27 April 2011) was a military and rebel leader in Côte d'Ivoire.
- A Staff Sergeant in the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, Coulibaly had served since at least the early 1990s.
- As Côte d'Ivoire slid into communal conflict, Coulibaly joined the 1999 coup led by Robert Guéï.
- A second coup, following 2000 elections that made Laurent Gbagbo President, saw Coulibaly in a leadership position, after which he came into conflict with fellow military leader Guillaume Soro.
- During the ensuing eight years of division in the country, Coulibaly came into conflict with both sides, eventually returning to lead an Abidjan-based militia supportive of Alassane Ouattara.
- Following the end of fighting, Coulibaly was killed in Abidjan by Ouattara's forces during an attempt to disarm his group.
- Known popularly as "IB", he was 47 years old at the time of his death.
