Re-nationalization
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 (GWC) creating the Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant and Wind Power Station 7 on Zanzibar.

Human-Covenant war
During the final months of the Human-Covenant War in 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, the Covenant under the Prophet of Truth's command concentrated most of their forces in East Africa as they excavated long-buried Forerunner Portal structure, invading and occupying a large portion of the surrounding area in the process.

Post-war
Following the end of the war, 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 as part of Project Rebirth.

In 2555, the monitor 000 Tragic Solitude attacked Earth and specifically the region around the Voi Portal. Two years later, Rion Forge would infiltrate a Forerunner site at Mount Kilimanjaro.

Government and society
The "heart and soul" of the East African Protectorate was considered to be Mombasa. In Mombasa is also the East African Protectorate's Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) headquarters, ONI Alpha Site.

Across the East African Protectorate are numerous UNSC training facilities, such as UNSC Training Facility Bravo. Dozens of wind power stations were spread around the coastal regions of the EAP.

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.
