The current population in East Africa (including natives) is comparable to that of Britain's Australian colonies, but to fully develop East Africa, this number is far from adequate.
Unlike Canadian and Australian British colonies, which have the formidable British Empire backing them.
So, although Canada and Australia have small populations, their security is not an issue, especially Australia, surrounded by sea with no external enemies.
However, behind the East African colonies stand only Ernst and the Heixinggen Consortium, unable to withstand much turmoil.
The only way to control East Africa is continuous migration; with a larger population, security naturally becomes more assured.
Like the Ottoman and Far East, when confronting powerful nations, although forced to concede some interests, their considerable population and scale ensure no one can consume them entirely.
Of course, India is an exception, so national cohesion is not an illusion but truly exists.
