[1] After the 1984 military coup d'état, Kaba was awarded political refugee status in France, and moved with his family to the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

When his death in Chad was announced, Condé, by then president of Guinea, went with several members of the government to his home in Conakry, to offer their condolences to his wife, Kaba Rokhaya Diakité.

Kaba remained as honorary president of Hafia FC, which he turned into a famous club in Guinea and throughout Africa.
