The RIPE database contains placeholder objects for out-of-region space, and these placeholders were re-created from a common template in January 2019. The prefix 62.61.192.0 - 62.61.255.255 was transferred from the RIPE database to AFRINIC in 2005 when the AFRINIC region was created. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
