Nazi Boni (December 31, 1909, in Bwan, Upper Senegal and Niger – May 16, 1969, in Kokologho, Upper Volta) was a politician from Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). In 1948 Boni was elected to the French National Assembly on behalf of the Voltaic Union (UV), and was re-elected in 1951 running on the Economic and Social Action in the Interests of Upper Volta list, although he remained a UV member. In 1955 Boni founded the African Popular Movement (MPA) after a split from the UV.[1] In January 1957, Boni's MPA took part in the founding of the African Convention, a pan-African party that later merged into the African Regroupment Party.[2]

From December 1957 to February 1958 Boni served as President of the Territorial Assembly.[3] In 1959 he founded a new party, the Republican Party for Liberty, in opposition to the attempts to make Upper Volta a one-party state under the Voltaic Democratic Union. Boni was forced into exile in Dakar, Senegal.[1]

In 1962, Boni wrote a novel, Le Crépuscule des temps anciens (The Twilight of the Bygone Days), which explored the precolonial existence of the Bwa people and the Volta-Bani War.[4]

Нази Бони (1909—1969) — писатель и политический деятель Верхней Вольты (ныне Буркина-Фасо). Поначалу, во времена французского владычества, Бони работал учителем, но отрицательное отношение к колониализму породило трудности в отношениях с властями. В своей книге «Сумерки прошлых дней» (фр. «Le Crépuscule des temps anciens») описал переменах в жизни традиционных обществ, вызванных привнесенной извне модернизацией; в этом романе Бони призывает народ страны не забывать свои корни, передающиеся в основном посредством устных мифов и исторических преданий[1].
