Youlou cut a colourful figure in his priest's cassock under which he toted a gun, but his personal morals were not those normally associated in the public eye with a priest.
Youlou, however, was at least a moderate in foreign policy and followed a pro-Western line.
Youlou, strengthened probably in the belief that he would have the French behind him if he encountered trouble, decided to take the plunge but unfortunately he dived into a dry — and red-tiled — swimming bath.

The first president of Congo-Brazzaville was an absurd, de-frocked Catholic priest, abbé Fulbert Youlou, who was deposed by a military coup as early as 1963, three years after the country´s independence.
Youlou was ridiculed by the outside world, but it seems that he was in effect a religious revolutionary, promising the return of a resistance leader who had been using the Christian rhetoric to incite the Congolese masses long before independence.
During the summer of 1997, the Congolese capital, Brazzaville, across the Congo river from Kinshasa, the capital of the other, formerly Belgian, Congo, was shot to pieces, when the democratically elected president Pascal Lissouba was attacked by a former military dictator, Denis Sassou-N´Gessou.
