Regional Internet Registries like AFRINIC provide essential services for the functioning of the global Internet.
Unfortunately, AFRINIC has been left headless and rudderless after its tussle with Cloud Innovation / Larus and its affiliates. As of September 2023 when this submission was made, work was underway to get it limping again. However, a lot must be done for Africa's RIR to become a useful part of the global Internet ecosystem.
