[Community-Discuss] Intelligence for AIS-19 Kampala No 1

[Benjamin Ledoh]

Dear Community,

I have arrived in Kampala this yesterday and the intelligence I have
gathered since then is so alarming that I have decided to send this email
to call on my fellow Nigerians (not all) and brother Ugandans  (not
all) conscience to put Africa first. To put the interest of this community
first so that we keep our Internet Resources for the development of Africa
and for the future generation.

>From the intelligence I have gathered, two groups are working tirelessly to
hijack AFRINIC resources. The obvious consequences are the close down of
AFRINIC and the appropriation of the Internet Resources of our region. If
these happen, it implies that whenever an organization in Africa needs
IPv4, IPv6 or ASN, it has to get it in the black markets where those
resources would be very expensive perhaps not affordable too or to go to
RIPE or ARIN. The two groups are, on one side, white South African led by
Mr. Andrew Alston of Liquid Telecom with their allies Mark Elkins and Owen
Delong, and on the other side, Lu with his Foundation from China.

WHAT ARE ISSUES AT HAND?

The British/South Africa Mark Elkins, the candidate of election, wants to
become the co-chair of PDWG. His mission as co-chair is to push for the
policy “IPv4 Inter-RIR Resource Transfers (Comprehensive Scope)” proposed
by Spanish or Latino Jordi Palet Martinez. The issue with this policy is
clear. There is no more IPv4 in the other registry, only AFRINIC has IPv4
in its pool. The policy of Jordy has the hidden agenda is to enable the
South African (not all of them) mafia to ransack the AFRINIC. It is not a
secret that Mark Elkins was one of those who oppose the creation of
AFRINIC. No wonder why his acolyte Owen Delong always defends him even if
his is blatantly wrong. What is interesting yesterday was Owen with the
help of some Ugandans he recruited some boys and girls to come and vote for
Mark Elkins and to support of oppose policies. They were brought by Owen
himself who was instructing the AFRINIC registration desk in Sheraton Hotel
to register them. When they were asked about what they are coming to do,
they said they are coming to vote for IPv4. I personally witnessed this.

For my own brothers Nigerians, three of them were sponsored by Lu Heng and
his foundation for the post of the co-chair of PDWG. Moreover, the Chinese
Lu Heng and his foundation have brought 30 participants or so through the
coordination of Daniel Yakmut. Larus Cloud Service, the mother organization
of Larus Foundation, has been allocated IPv4 address from AFRINIC. The fact
is, Lurus Cloud is not using those IPv4 addresses located to him for the
purpose of which the got them. Moreover, the reasons provided when he
applied for those resources were lies. The instruction given to those
sponsored are to
1 - to support the “IPv4 Inter-RIR Resource Transfers (Comprehensive
Scope)” by Jordi Palet Martinez because they want to legalize their
wrongdoing with the resources taken from AFRINIC.
2 - to oppose the “Internet Number Resources review by AFRINIC” by Arnaud
Amelina and CO because this policy will expose them.
3 - to vote for Mark Elkins. The other three Nigerians have been used to
split vote of the other candidate.

MY FELLOW NIGERIANS IN AIS-19, YOUR BEHAVIOR IS DESTROYING THIS COMMUNITY
AND DISGRACING NIGERIANS BECAUSE OF YOUR PAROCHIAL INTEREST. WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP BEING SELFISH IN THIS COMMUNITY? STOP BEING AGENT OF EVIL,
HISTORY IS RECORDING YOU NEGATIVELY.

As for the Moses Serugo, his case is pitiful and detrimental to this
community. As a novice in this community he is sponsored by Lu Heng and
foundation. According to my intelligence, he commented only once on PDP
mailing list and attended only once the face to face meeting. He confessed
that he does not what he is going for as co-chair of PDWG but what matters
for him is the possibility to travel outside of Uganda. Regardless of the
call to dissuade him to step down so that he can be groomed maybe for the
next election and that the issues at hand are beyond his capability to deal
with, he declined knowing that he has the upper hand over the other
candidate because he is recruiting University of Makerere student to vote
for him.  I don’t blame him because according my intelligence, the rules
governing the selection of the co-chair has been diluted for novice like
him to stand to election. BUT HE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THIS COMMUNITY DOES
NOT FORGIVE AND DOES NOT FORGET.

Dear community,  I have just received some fresh intelligence, I am going
to authenticate them before I share them with you.

LET US PRAY FOR AFRINIC, LET US PRAY FOR OUR MOTHER AFRICA
