> I’m just a young Congolese (BZV) citizen, and here is my own thoughts

> Some of us live in more or less free countries, others under hidden

>
> This policy started from an idea, good or bad, based on the fact that
> Internet is sometimes shutdown in some countries, for good or bad
> reasons. Unfortunately, AFRINIC has NO POWER AT ALL on any
> governments, so we are trying to find a leverage.

> Like Tutu said, there is almost nothing we (as AFRINIC’s community)
> can do about it without collateral damages on citizens. Considering
> the fact that this Policy would be dangerous for citizens and nearly
> useless against governments, we should start a thread somewhere else
> to continue finding ideas.

> Unfortunately, only citizens of a country have the power to change
> things, legally and peacefully. Such citizens could organize a sit in
> (if it’s legal) in front of gov’s offices, write mass letters, do a
> peaceful walk or even create a local protesting group associating
> medias. Anyways, it won’t be AFRINIC’s business.
