==History==
===Rise of humanity===
In the 2400s, the East African Protectorate began a series of renationalization initiatives including [[water]]-purification facility construction and alternative energy facility construction. This resulted in the government run [[Global Water Campaign|Global Water Campaign (GWC)]] creating the [[Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant]] and [[Wind Power Station 7]] on [[Zanzibar]].{{Ref/Site|Id=waypearth|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Earth}}

===Human-Covenant war===

During the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552#October|late 2552]], the East African Protectorate became the site to key battles which determined the outcome of the war. Over the course of the [[Battle of Earth]] despite many other [[Covenant]] forces were deployed all across the [[planet]],{{Ref/Novel|Novel=HGoO}}{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Uprising}} the [[Truth's fleet|Covenant]] under the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s command concentrated most of their forces in East Africa as they excavated long-buried [[Forerunner]] [[Excession|Portal]] structure, invading and occupying a large portion of the surrounding area in the process.{{Ref/Book|Book=HM|Page=117}}{{Ref/Film|Id=waypoint|Film=Halo Waypoint|Story=Ten Twenty|StoryLinkText=Ten Twenty}}

===Post-war===
Following the end of the war, the EAP planned on rebuilding the urban core of Mombasa, an expensive and ambitious project. UEG investment through [[Project Rebirth]] and UNSC actions at the Portal did help revitalize some areas of the city like [[Haller Street]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShowcase|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/showcase-sensitive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Showcase Sensitive|D=16|M=6|Y=2021}} However at some point, as a part of Project Rebirth, the member states of the EAP donated [[gold]] ore for a statue of [[John-117]] to be placed in the [[United Nations Space Command Memorial Park]] in [[New Mombasa]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=pointprize|[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]|Campaign Master Chief}}

In [[2555]], the monitor [[000 Tragic Solitude]] [[Battle of Earth (2555)|attacked]] [[Earth]] and specifically the region around the Voi Portal.{{Ref/Novel|HitD|Chapter=??}} Two years later, [[Rion Forge]] would [[Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|infiltrate]] a Forerunner site at [[Mount Kilimanjaro]].{{Ref/Novel|Ren|Chapter=??}}

==Government and society==
The "heart and soul" of the East African Protectorate was considered to be [[Mombasa]].{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=129}} 

===Services===
Dozens of wind power stations were spread around the coastal regions of the EAP.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=stonetowndesc}} Some of the services in the EAP were known to coordinate or otherwise work with organizations elsewhere on the continent such as with the [[Voi Greater Outlands Police Bureau]] and the [[Western African Committee on Missing Persons]].{{Ref/Game|H3|[[Easter egg]] [[Missing Person Poster]]}}

The EAP also maintained a regional peacekeeping force. The {{UNSCShip|Crassus}} would be recommissioned and serve with them between [[2411]] and [[2490]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFStrike|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-ship-strike|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Ship Strike|D=20|M=04|Y=2023}}
