Our current allocation policy says:

"4.0 Hierarchy of address space distribution:

IP addresses are distributed in an hierarchical structure in which
IANA (The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) allocates address space
to AFRINIC, to be redistributed throughout the African region. "


If this is not clear enough to support the wishes of the community,
then perhaps SM could amend his current proposal:
http://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/849-ipv4-address-allocation-and-assignment-afpub-2013-v4-002-draft-01-under-discussion

so that it is inline with the Soft-Landing policy in re: usage of
resources out of the region.
