All this can be understood only in the historical context: Look at the service region for today´s RIPE NCC(https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/info/list-of-members/europe) which - as the "European" RIR - inlcudes Middle East and Central Asien countries. When AFRINIC was formed in the early 2000s they took mainly sub-saharian countries which were served previously by ARIN and RIPE and left some middle east countries with RIPE. Difficult to explain . But the good news is: It works....

Betreff: Re: [NCSG-Discuss] Geographic Regions Review Working Group Report - NCSG Response
 
Seun,

While ARIN predates ICANN, when ICANN was formed ARIN was still the RIR
for North America, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa. Certainly in
the case of Jamaica, since the official language is English it made a
certain amount of sense for them to have stayed with ARIN as an RIR.

The Caribbean islands all have unique backgrounds, and I suspect trying
to group them to get any kind of regional consensus is always going to
be problematic. :)

Cheers,
