Abdoulaye Hamani Diori (29 December 1945 – 25 April 2011)[1] was a Nigerien political leader and businessman. The son of Niger's first President, he waged a political and abortive military struggle against the Military regime that overthrew his father. With the return of democracy to Niger, Abdoulaye became head of his father's political party, and maintained a small but influential place in the political life of Niger until his death in 2011. Abdoulaye was married with four children.[1] A Muslim, he earned the honorific 'Hadji' after making the pilgrimage to Mecca.[2] He died 25 April 2011 at National Hospital in Niamey, aged 65,[3] following an illness.[4]
