Early life

Cabou was born on July 6, 1929, in Mandina, a village founded by his grandfather in the Casamance region of Senegal. He completed his primary education at the Brière de L'Isle School in Saint-Louis, then in Thiès and Ngazobil where he began his secondary studies, which he continued at the Van Vollenhoven High School in Dakar after obtaining a Baccalaureate in July 1950.

He furthered his education at Dakar Institute of Advanced Studies (now Cheikh Anta DIOP University of Dakar), where he spent two years studying Law and Literature. He received a government scholarship to study in France and later enrolled at École nationale de la France d'outre-mer (ENFOM) in Paris.[2]
