This is indeed very sad news. We had a good discussion just a month ago. The Internet community has lost a very active and influential member.
May his soul rest in peace. Deepest condolences to his family, friends and the entire ICANN community.

Que ton ame soit en paix mon Cher Ami. Tu etais un rayon de soleil. Tu nous manquera.

 

Condoleance a ta famille et surtout a tes enfants, dont tu etais SI fiere. On en a longuement parlé a Accra.

 

Tu nous manquera.

Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] AFRALO just lost a leader!!!

 

Dear Members,

 

I have just arrived Hamburg to hear the shocking sad news of the death of Olivier Kouami who died from a heart attack. 

 

Olivier is the current co-chair of the AFRALO newsletter team and an active leader within AFRALO community and internet governance community as a whole. Oliver was also very involved in the open source community (FOSSFA) which was where I first got to meet and work with him over 15years ago.

 

My condolences to his family and the entire Africa internet community.

Regards

Chair AFRALO
