Dear Community, 

It has been a while since I messaged this list, and it is with deep sorrow that I share the news of the passing of Dr. Boubakar Barry, the CEO of WACREN. 

Boubakar was a pillar of leadership and vision, whose contributions to our community and the broader African research and education network have been immense. His absence will be deeply felt. 

Please keep Dr. Barry, his family, and the WACREN team in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
