During the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[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]] deployments all across the planet,{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: Ghosts of Onyx}}{{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]] [[the Portal|Portal]] structure, invading and occupying a large portion of the surrounding area in the process.{{Ref/Book|Book=Halo Mythos|Page=117}}

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]].<ref name="pointprize">''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]'', Campaign Master Chief</ref>

In [[2555]], the monitor [[000 Tragic Solitude]] [[Invasion of Earth|attacked]] [[Earth]] and specifically the region around the Voi Portal.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Hunters in the Dark|Chapter=??}} Two years later, [[Rion Forge]] would [[Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|infiltrate]] a Forerunner site at [[Mount Kilimanjaro]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Renegades|Chapter=??}}

The "heart and soul" of the East African Protectorate was considered to be [[Mombasa]].{{Ref/Book|Halo: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=129}} In Mombasa is also the East African Protectorate's [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI)]] headquarters, [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]].{{Ref/Book|Halo: The Essential Visual Guide|Page=132}}

Across the East African Protectorate are numerous UNSC training facilities, such as [[UNSC Training Facility Bravo]].{{Ref/Reuse|waypearth}} 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|[[Halo 3]]|[[Easter egg]] [[Missing Person Poster]]}}
