The Mauritius Supreme Court criticises ICANN’s attempted intervention in AFRINIC’s elections, threatening Africa’s digital sovereignty.

AFRINIC remains leaderless under political receivership in Mauritius, raising alarms over Africa’s Internet sovereignty.

AFRINIC opens nominations for eight board seats across African regions and two region-independent positions through 28 August 2025.

AFRINIC’s financial mismanagement and internal corruption are exposed: endless litigation, opaque legal fees, and power struggles.

ICANN faces criticism over its role in AFRINIC’s governance crisis, with accusations that it prioritises centralised control over openness.

Gowtamsingh Dabee’s annulment of AFRINIC’s June election under state pressure raises ethical red flags and threatens member-led governance.

The Official Receiver’s role in Mauritius, and why Dabee’s controversial AFRINIC decisions raise transparency concerns.

Judge Bellepeau’s resignation is a signal that the path to legitimate and stable internet governance for Africa is now perilously uncertain.

AFRINIC’s Official Receiver Gowtamsingh Dabee is overstepping his authority by pushing for the August election, say critics.

At the centre of Mauritius’ AFRINIC collapse, critics accuse Kurt Lindqvist of pushing communist-style control over Africa’s internet.

Lindqvist’s new ICP-2 related document raises alarm over transparency, as AFRINIC’s governance collapse threatens Africa’s internet.

ICANN’s governance prioritises technical consensus. Kurt Lindqvist’s powers threaten accountability and Africa’s internet autonomy.
