As many of you are aware, AfriNIC is under legal attack by Heng Lu / “Cloud

If, like me, you feel like chipping in a little bit of money to help AfriNIC
make payroll despite Heng having gotten their bank accounts frozen, some of the
African ISP associations have put together a fund, which you can donate to here:

It’s an unfortunate situation, but the African Internet community has really
pulled together to defend themselves, and they’ve got a lot less resources than
most of us do.

Why not just use the RIR Joint Stability Fund which was created for
exactly these situations before asking for donations?
