Included below are summraies of the current routing of the various
AFRINIC-assigned blocks belonging to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC (LiquidWeb, Inc.)
and also ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC (Fiber Grid, Inc.) I am providing these to
the AFRINIC community in support of my prior assertion that no part
or portion of the AFRINIC-assigned blocks of these two companies are,
at present, being routed to any country within the AFRINIC region, nor
to any country or countries that are even adjacent to the AFRINIC region.
The routing summaries below were computed based upon raw data specifying
the specific ASNs that are routing each of the constituent /24 "C" blocks
that make up the totality of the registered AFRINIC blocks currently
assigned to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC respectively. That
raw data was obtained by me, programatically, via the "RESTful" web
interface of the RIPEStat data base. The raw data from which the
summaries below were computed may obtained via the following two links,
or alternatively, directly fronm RIEPStat, for the benefit of anyone
wishing to independently confirm my analysis.

ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC:

Additionally, the Perl scripts that I have used to fetch the above raw
data from RIPEStat, as well as the scripts I have used to compute from
that raw data the routing summary tables shown below are all availiable
from me upon request. I would be more than happy to have others
independently perform the same routing analysis as I have done with
respect to the IPv4 space currently assigned to ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and
ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC.
The routing summary tables below each contain four fields as follows:
1) Number of constituent /24 "C" blocks routed by the given ASN.
2) The AS number.
3) The applicable two-letter ISO 3166 country code.
4) The full name of the ORGanization to which the ASN is registered.
Note that a good deal of the IPv4 space registered to ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC
is currently being routed by RIPE-issued ASNs registered to "Inter
Connects Inc".
Upon information and belief, "Inter Connects Inc" is a Delaware (US)
corporate entity for which Mr. Deepak Mehta is either a beneficial
owner or else possibly THE beneficial owner. Mr. Mehta is of course
free to dispute this contention, as and when he sees fit. Please note
however that an entity calling itself "Inter Connects Inc" is also
currently represented within the RIPE WHOIS data base where it is
designated via the handle ORG-DMF2-RIPE and that the RIPE WHOIS
history of that organization handle indicates that it was previously
associated with "Deepak Mehta FIE":

Please note that AS393489, which appears in the second table below, is
officially a bogon (unassigned) AS number at present. Prior to the
reclamation of this ASN by ARIN, this specific ASN was assigned to a
U.S. company named "ADT Systems, Inc." and that company appears to
still be using AS393489, even though AS393489 is now officially a
bogon ASN.
Please take note also that the organization to which the RIPE-issued
AS58110 is registered (IP Volume LTD - UK) may or may not have any
connection whatsoever to the registrant organization for AS202425
(IP Volume, Inc. - Seychelles) which has for some time announced a
route to the stolen AFRINIC legacy block 196.16.0.0/14, said block
being the rightful property of the South African national government's
IT arm, "SITA", accoring to all reliable historical evidence.
The country codes listed in the following two summary tables, if accurate,
support my view that the AFRINIC-assigned IPv4 address blocks of both
ORG-LWI1-AFRINIC and ORG-FGI1-AFRINIC are likely not, at present, being
routed to any geographical points within the AFRINIC region, thus placing
both of these AFRINIC member organizations in clear violation of the
legally binding AFRINIC Bylaws.
This, of course, is in addition to and on top of the fact that both
organizations appear to have obtained some or all of their AFRINIC-
assigned IPv4 address space illicitly, most probaby by way of the
dismissed and disgraced Ernest Byaruhanga.
