Kenya: Ruto Calls for Collapse of East African States to One Country

President William Ruto, on Friday, November 29, called for the consolidation of the East African region into a single nation. While there are no concrete moves on this, it would have huge consequences for countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia.

While speaking at the 24th Ordinary Summit of East African Heads of State in Arusha, Tanzania, Ruto made a big proposal to regional Heads of State in a move that would have significant benefits and drawbacks for the region.
