To aid the discussion, I have re-typed the new rules for travel that backtracks between Europe/Middle East and Africa:
For travel originating in Africa - one of the following backtracks is permitted:
3.2.1 Africa-Europe-RTW-Europe-Africa
One of the visits to Europe must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous or next continent.
Travel may not include Mauritius or South Africa
3.2.2 Africa-Middle East-RTW-Middle East-Africa
One of the visits to Middle East must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous or next continent.
3.2.3 Africa-Europe-RTW-Middle East-Africa OR Africa-Middle East-RTW-Europe-Africa
Travel may not include any flown or surface sector between Europe and Middle East
For travel originating other than in Africa - one of the following backtracks is permitted:
3.1.1 Europe-Africa-Europe
One of the visits to Europe must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous or next continent.
Travel may not include Mauritius or South Africa
3.1.2 Middle East-Africa-Middle East
One of the visits to Middle East must be a transfer without stopover between Africa and the previous or next continent.
3.1.3 Europe-Africa-Middle East OR Middle East-Africa-Europe
Travel may not include any flown or surface sector between Europe and Middle East
