AFRINIC-31
AFRINIC exists to expand the Internet for the sustainable development of Africa. One of the prominent ways in which AFRINIC implements this vision is through major events held around the continent to champion this debate. It is for this reason that AFRINIC hosted the 31st meeting, dubbed AFRINIC-31. The meeting took place at the Tatalona Convention Center, Luanda, Angola from 2nd - 6th December 2019.
Opening the event was Mr. Christian Bope, the AFRINIC Chairman who stressed the importance of embracing IPv6 as Africa seeks to join the rest of the world in advancing Internet connection in the face of IPv4 exhaustion.
