An update on the AfriNIC situation

Mon Aug 30 18:00:06 UTC 2021

But to be clear, if this was a simple court case I don't think anyone
on this list would have an issue with simply sitting back and letting
the court decide.

You have to remember though that CI in this case has essentially
forced one of the major registrars to virtually shut down.  That's a
direct attack on the system that is of fundamental importance to the
proper running of the Internet.  Having the system react strongly to
such a threat is entirely understandable.
