the arguments could possibly be assessed.  Note - the full list of

Then, several years will be lost if we wait Mauritius court
settle the issue.

A quick fix for the international internet community can be to
abandon AfriNIC and establish, outside of Mauritius, a new entity,
which may employ current AfriNIC employers, recognized by the international internet community.
