@benjamingeer @bovine3dom I think the real project is #AXIS https://au.int/en/african-internet-exchange-system-axis-project-overview and, as you can see on the Web page, it is much more careful and reasonable. But it seems to be the remote source of the inflated boasts from several media sites.

@bortzmeyer thanks. that's depressingly predictable. the original source seems to be https://vocal.media/journal/africa-just-launched-its-own-internet-and-google-should-be-terrified which absolutely reeks of LLM generated fan-fiction

pretty scary how a series of slightly more respectable blogs can launder what initially was an obvious hallucination/lie
