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:

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.
