[Community-Discuss] A personal note

[robert ford]

Dear Eddy,

Your Nobility and integrity cannot be questioned by any rightful thinking member of our Internet community. Rest assured that those with forward looking and reasonable minds won’t substitute to the baseless accusations toward you.

Focus on what makes you and AFRINIC community a worthwhile entity that strives to secure its befitting and rightful place in the global internet family. You occupy a position at the height of your career that was and isn’t accidental. 

Our support for your enduring service and sacrifice to the community must never be questioned neither doubted.

Best of luck!

Anyone who knows me, the history of my country, and my upbringing would know that I can never and would never support any call for tribalism or xenophobia. I know that even those who made such allegations against me are aware of how beneath them these tactics are.

Attempts to divide and concur us Africans are as old as time itself. Unfortunately, these calls sometimes come from within and not from abroad.
