Very sad and shocking news indeed, the passing of our brother and friend Olivier, a very committed, gentle and hardworking member of our internet community. He was based in Senegal for years and often communicated with me about ICANN or ISOC activities.   He will be greatly missed!

May he rest in peace! Amen.

My condolences to his family and to our entire community.

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.

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.
