I'm sorry to say it, but I don't believe that Africans know how to fight or win this battle. You are not really looking at what the other side is doing or how it is doing it, so you are not learning from their example. Several Internet organizations on the continent have come out with statements of support for AFRINIC on their web sites, including this REN organization. Yawn. So what? Hardly anybody reads these statements of support. On the other side, they are doing a professional job of public relations where in counts... in the press in Mauritius, where the judges are sitting. Have any of those judges or anyone in the entire government of Mauitius read a single word about these matters, other than Owen DeLong's point of view? No, apparently not. All you who say that you are supporting AFRINIC are like naive sleepwalking children. If you would concentrate your efforts where it matters, in the Mauritian press and with the Mauritian government, then you might have some hope of keeping your own Regional Internet Registry in African, but since no one is doing that, there is no hope of AFRINIC surviving, and thus, this experiment is African Internet sovereignty will end, and once you lose it, you'll never get it back. Ever. Because no one will ever again trust the African Internet community to manage its own affairs without assistance from outside.
