Gabriel Somé Yorian was the architect of a military coup against Colonel Saye Zerbo, as the then head of the army of Burkina Faso.[1] He did not himself assume power, but allowed Major Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo to take over.

Yorian was killed later on in another coup launched by Captain Thomas Sankara.
