"Given the current territorial boundaries, suddenly acquiring so much land, coupled with the need to govern newly occupied territories, I believe we should reform the existing administrative divisions," Constantine said.
Currently, East Africa has a total of 18 administrative districts, with two areas not officially designated as administrative divisions; these are military-occupied zones in the southwest (Zambia) and northeast (Somali).
Among these 18 administrative districts, 17 are located in the east. Beyond Mbeya, only the East Katanga District is in the southwest.
Of the 17 administrative districts, excluding the Central District and the Northern Omolate Special District, the remaining 15 are distributed across former Tanzania, Kenya, and the Great Lakes Region.
