This shows that African is slowly getting its future into its own hands. I hope they will succeed.

I think the E.A.F. is a great idea. More African countries should consider unity across arbitrary, post-colonial 'national' borders.

As a Kenyan, I really think it's a great idea. The only things I fear are corruption from unworthy leaders, and tribalism from the backwards people trying to divide others.
Edit:hopefully the tribal issues can be stopped with the influence of Rwanda and Tanzania.

Holy crap, I'm already 6 years older than the median age of those East African countries... I'm literally in the elderly half already.... (But best of luck to the EAF, I hope success and prosperity come your way!)

I'm Kenyan and this is a great idea...the only possible problem would be leadership and how it would be devided

From a Mexican I’m rooting for them & a strong Africa

God Bless Africa. I believe all the tears that were poured by your ancestors in the ground would be transformed into jewels and diamonds. May God give you a bright future. Greetings from the Philippines.

I hope they won't end like Yugoslavia. They had *almost* all of those similarities, but when the bad times arrived, they got killing each over. They even speak the same language!
