Ostap,

Why was this prefix revoked? And what is your interest in the matter?  I ask because, of late, there have been attempts to lockdown African Internet access by various political factions, for example the situation in Uganda.

It's looking like this block had been (probably fraudulently) parceled out and sold in small chunks to legitimate-but-gullible companies? The first /24 out of it and another latter /24 are advertised by a rural Nebraska WISP with a single-homed upstream to a company that I know to be legitimate who had added their entry to RADB for their customer. Most of the other chunks look to be advertised by random seemingly-legitimate organizations too. 

When this space stops routing, there's going to be a big mess and I'm pretty sure a lot of lawsuits. 

Ooof.
