Is the right answer, silly nothing tournament. At least do it in the summer like normal continental tournies.
They do have it in the summer. The African Summer.
They should have it when it's convenient for the rest of the world not just when it suits them.
Why? It's an African tournament held in Africa. It's hardly their fault is it that their players have improved? No-one gave a toss when they had no african players.
No excuse to disrupt the rest of world football. It's incredibly selfish of the ACN to just demand to take teams players when they feel like it.
