East African Protectorate (Earth-5875)

The East African Protectorate (ECA) is an African union of the East African nations Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.

History
The East African Protectorate was founded in the 24th century, with the union of Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. In 2467, the EAP re-nationalized many private corporations that were formerly under state control on Tanzania, which included the construction of Wind Power Station 7 in Tanzania's east coast. However, the station was decomissioned twenty years later. It also saw the commissioning of many facilities of the Global Water Campaign in the late 24th century, including the GWC Trans-African Pipelines, which brought melted water from Mount Kilimanjaro to the rest of Africa. Through its history, the UNSC established many of its bases across the EAG, using the natural defenses of to stay covert.

During the last months of the First Contact War, the EAP became the site of the last battles of the conflict, including the Battle of Mombasa and the Battle of Voi. While the Covenant attacked multiple locations on Earth, they focused most of their efforts on East Africa to uncover a buried forerunner artifact within New Mombasa.

After the end of the war, the EAP's countries donated money for a statue of John-117 to be placed in the United Nations Space Command Memorial Park.
