As many of you are aware, AfriNIC is under legal attack by Heng Lu /

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

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.
