Hi,

this is the second mention I see of RPKI and Egypt in the same
context. I sincerely fail to see the connection between both
situations.

Egypt cut their links the old fashioned way: they pulled the plug. I
fail to see how such a situation could be made worse by RPKI. It
simply has nothing to do.

Not deploying RPKI won't prevent your local friendly autocrat from
ordering "cut all wires" or something like that.

regards

Carlos
