Hi Daniel,
I guess you are reacting because of the assignment's country code.
Please download the file from AFRINIC:
https://ftp.afrinic.net/pub/pub/dbase/afrinic.db.gz
Do a search for "country: " and see for yourself, assignments out of Africa are not uncommon at all and are done in small to large scale by many LIRs.
Here is an example of a larger one, not affiliated to CI as far as I could see:
inetnum: X.X.128.0 - X.X.143.255
netname: XXXXXX-ASSIGNMENTS-CUSTOMERS
descr: Assignment made to XXXXXX Customers.
descr: In case of abuse, please contact [email protected]
country: FR
I understood from the discussions here and from the policy texts, only the more recent allocations are truly restricted to be used in region only, this means that older LIRs with old allocations can indeed offer services out of region with their address space.
Now, if you find assignments or sub-allocations made from allocations issued under the current soft landing phase that are registered for out of regions.
Those may need AFRINIC to double check what is going on.
Regards,
Dabu

It’s one thing when you can’t follow your own rules, but you’re now violating the law and
working hard towards a contempt citation. It didn’t take long to screw up our whois entries,
it shouldn’t take long to put them back.
