Hi Lu
My current understanding is that AFRINIC does not refuse to create a ROUTE
simply because you do not own the foreign ASN. They may do some additional
checks, but if everything is in order they will permit the ROUTE creation. So
this is not a show stopper.
As a side note, if you have concerns about AFRINIC you are better to raise
these points on an AFRINIC mailing list. It may be of interest to the RIPE
community how other regions work, but you will never change AFRINIC policies or
procedures by complaining about them on a RIPE mailing list.

Subject: [db-wg] A test on AFRINIC range announcing without RIPE route object
Current situation:
AFRINIC accepts foreign ASN with manual verification of the ownership of the
ASN holder as stated by their hostmaster in the mailing list. If you don't own
the ASN, they will not create the route object. Despite this, the process is
long and unpractical in daily operation.
