This!CI are pushing their case relying on the rest of the Internet community to keep doing "the right thing" by routing/forwarding the IPv4 address space in question.
If the Internet community decided that what CI was doing was not in keeping with appropriate netizenship, and stopped routing/forwarding said IPv4 address space, that would be the end. But too many parties on too many sides of the table have some kind of interest in keeping that address space routed/forwarded. So while this would quickly create useful leverage against CI's actions, I can't see the community coming to such consensus quickly.
For me, the irony with what CI are doing is that while they are breaking the value of community by running AFRINIC through hell, they still expect the very same community to afford them communal decency by still routing/forwarding the address space.
It's as if planet Earth is an option, and whoever doesn't like it can move to Mars or some such :-\...
