- every Arabic country in this continent speaks either english or french too.

- Internet is mostly and english technology  (if you argue, show me a
configuration file in arabic or french or portuguese or a programming
language whose keywords are not english)

- some thing are nice to do and I think afrinic must do what it can to
be more inclusive .. but only when it solve a real problem.

The big problem is ... _APATHY_. afrinic should not spend money
providing arabic translations of document unless its show that there
is high number of arab-only speaker on list who are unable to
participate.
