Major AFRINIC court ruling

The Supreme Court of Mauritius has dismissed an appeal brought by former Afrinic director Benjamin Eshun, once again placing it in receivership. It also ordered that the official receiver hold board elections within two months.

The African Network Information Centre (Afrinic) is the continent's Regional Internet Registry (RIR). It is responsible for the raw Internet resources, like Internet Protocol addresses, for the entire African continent and Indian Ocean region.
 
Receivership != liquidation in Mauritius. It's placed under administration specifically to call a board election.
 
Those IP allocations should’ve been cancelled years ago. I’d love to know how many have been leased to entities operating outside Afrinic’s region.
