Joyful inhabitants

"The current politics of East Africa have brought little joy to the inhabitants. Most governments are illiberal and corrupt, and poor policies have repressed the undoubted natural potential of the region and its people."

Well, some inhabitants are joyful, namely those deemed undoubtedly illiberal and corrupt. A-giau 12:07, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

History - Imperialism

Today (march 2 2006), I added the History, Imperialism Era subsection. It would be nice to improve the History section with other historic periods you might have knowledge on.

Astavrou 18:48, 21 December 2005 and all kids should lear at lest something about east africa it is a very nic eplace and its very interesting.

List of cities split to new article

Material from East Africa was split to List of cities in East Africa on 5 July 2017 from this version. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution.

If I can count straight

Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan – in Central East Africa, are members of the East African Community (EAC). The first five are also included in the African Great Lakes region.

If I can count straight, what this text is trying to say is that: "all but South Sudan are also included in the African Great Lakes region".

If it's this simple, why is my ability to count in question here?

Burundi and Rwanda are at times also considered to be part of Central Africa.

For parallelism with list order (above), I would prefer "Rwanda and Burundi". — MaxEnt 19:31, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Why are Rwanda and Burundi considered Central Africa. Their population is Banyarwanda as is the neighboring great lake areas in DRC, Uganda and Tanzania. This should be removed or a citation added to clarify it is non-local classification from non-African institution if that is the case. BevoLJ (talk) 12:04, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Dispute

Ryanoo and Heogh, you should be discussing your disagreement here instead of edit warring. Please carefully review WP:BRD and WP:3RR before proceeding. I've locked the page for two days so you are compelled to sort it out here. If the edit warring resumes after the protection expires, you both may receive blocks. --Laser brain (talk) 15:49, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
