Who's Who 2023 is the 175th edition of the world's longest
established and most comprehensive general reference book, brought
right up to date for the year ahead. The first autobiographical
reference book in the world and, after 174 years, still the most
accurate and reliable resource for information on people of
influence and interest in every area of public life. Each edition
is heavily updated using information supplied and checked by the
entrants themselves, alongside research from many other independent
sources. The book provides biographical information for people from
all areas of society, including government, law, medicine,
business, the church, media and the arts, with details not only of
entrants' careers, but also their family, education, recreations
and clubs. The 2023 edition includes more than 33,000
autobiographical entries, including approximately 600 new entries,
an obituaries section, listing the entrants who have died since the
previous edition, and a two-page Royal Family section.

Si c'est a la porte de l'eglise de Bagira que j'entrevis pour la
premiere fois la haute stature de Valentin Bashige, c'est qu'il en
etait un fidele assidu. Peu bavard, serieux dans son maintien, le
visage presque austere, c'etait un chretien convaincu, reconnu et
respecte comme tel. Apres une longue carriere militaire, il
exercait alors avec sagesse la charge de juge de paix au tribunal
coutumier. Cette longue carriere dans ce qu'on appelait alors la
"Force Publique" l'avait fait beaucoup voyager, d'un bout a l'autre
du Congo, au Rwanda, au Burundi et, meme, durant la guerre, sous
commandement belge, jusqu'en Abyssinie, l'actuelle Ethiopie. Il en
parlait peu, mais de ces experiences parfois douloureuses, du
cotoiement de populations differentes, venait sans doute ce regard
profond et reflechi qu'il portait sur les gens et sur le monde.
