A Tribute to King Oyo: A Dear Friend and a LeaderIt is with a heavy heart and profound sorrow that I offer my deepest condolences on the passing of the late King Oyo. To the world, he was a revered leader, a beacon of cultural heritage, and a dedicated servant to his people. But to me, before all of his titles and royal duties, he was my best friend.Our paths crossed during our formative years at Aga Khan International School, a time when the weights of our futures were just distant thoughts. In the classrooms and hallways of Aga Khan, I was privileged to know the boy behind the crown. He was a young man of immense warmth, humility, and an infectious sense of humor. Despite the grand destiny awaiting him, he walked among us as an equal, offering a genuine kindness and an open heart to everyone he met.The memories we shared during those school days are treasures I will hold close for the rest of my life. I remember his laughter, his quiet wisdom, and the unwavering loyalty he showed.

With profound sadness, I send from Belgium my heartfelt condolences to the Queen Mother, the Royal Family and the people of Tooro on the untimely passing of His Majesty the Omukama. Having followed the Royal Houses and their traditions for many years, I remember with particular respect how His Majesty ascended the throne as a young child and grew into a dignified guardian of Tooro’s history, traditions and identity. May his remarkable reign and devotion to his people remain an enduring legacy. As a Belgian sending these condolences from afar, I would deeply treasure a small personal remembrance from the Royal Household in memory of His late Majesty. May His Majesty rest in eternal peace.
