Only you know the trials and tribulations we went through, but at this hour I would like the forwarder to convey my deepest condolesences and sympathies to those you have abruptly left behind. The converging paths toward a complete and total emancipation of our continent may often lead to detours which, sometimes, some of us, may discover…from hindsight.

Rest in peace and from where you are keep pushing those of us still here in the direction of complete and total emancipation. I shall leave to accountants the task of measuring your contribution. I would prefer that in the world we are trying to bring about, measuring of any kind shall disappear and be replaced by selfless solidarity which is how I saw you and I continue to see you.

Take care, Jacques
