An update on the AfriNIC situation

Fri Aug 27 15:36:03 UTC 2021

As many of you are aware, AfriNIC is under legal attack by Heng Lu / “Cloud Innovation.”

John Curran just posted an excellent summary of the current state of affairs here:

If, like me, you feel like chipping in a little bit of money to help AfriNIC make payroll despite Heng having gotten their bank accounts frozen, some of the African ISP associations have put together a fund, which you can donate to here:

It’s an unfortunate situation, but the African Internet community has really pulled together to defend themselves, and they’ve got a lot less resources than most of us do.
