East Africa or Eastern Africa is the easterly region of the African continent, variably defined by geography or geopolitics. In the United Nations Statistics Division scheme of geographic regions, 20 territories constitute Eastern Africa:
East African may refer to:
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.2 million km2 (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of its total land area. With 1.1 billion people as of 2013, it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.
Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4.Algeria is Africa's largest country by area, and Nigeria by population. Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago, including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago. Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones.
Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad [ˈkɑːpstɐt]; Xhosa: Ikapa) is a city in South Africa. It ranks third among the most populous urban areas in South Africa, after Johannesburg and Durban, and has roughly the same population as the Durban Metropolitan Area. It is also the provincial capital and primate city of the Western Cape. It is the southernmost city on the African continent.
As the seat of the National Parliament it is also the legislative capital of the country. It forms part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. The city is famous for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, as well as for such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. As of 2014, it is the 10th most populous city in Africa and home to 64% of the Western Cape's population. It is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa. The city was named the World Design Capital for 2014 by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design. In 2014, Cape Town was named the best place in the world to visit by both The New York Times and The Telegraph.
East is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. East is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of west and is perpendicular to north and south.
The word east comes from Middle English est, from Old English ēast, which itself comes from the Proto-Germanic *aus-to- or *austra- "east, toward the sunrise", from Proto-Indo-European *aus- "to shine," or "dawn". This is similar to Old High German *ōstar "to the east", Latin aurora "dawn", and Greek ēōs or heōs.Ēostre, a Germanic goddess of dawn, might have been a personification of both dawn and the cardinal points.
By convention, the right hand side of a map is east. This convention has developed from the use of a compass, which places north at the top.
To go east using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 90°.
East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. The practice of praying towards the East is older than Christianity, but has been adopted by this religion as the Orient was thought of as containing mankind's original home. Hence, most Christian churches are oriented towards the east.

Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohamed on Tuesday spoke out on how she lost the bid to become the Chairperson of African Union Commission, and partly blamed it on sabotage by some East African nations, and continental intrigues. Amina, who lost to Moussa Mahamat from Chad, blamed the defeat on “deceptive” neighbours and the “usual, francophone, and anglophone politics”. Uganda was however quick to distance itself from such allegations, standing its ground, that it supported her candidature to the bitter end. Question is, could the seemingly suspect treatment between the member states point to a deeper EAC integration quagmire?

The report launched on Thursday in Kampala shows that some countries formulated non-legal requirements at their boarders, a contradiction to the common market agenda they signed in 2010. But the private sector believes that continuously exposing the gaps can help resolve the mess at the boarders;

The food crisis in East Africa is dire. If you've seen the news, you know that a humanitarian crisis is unfolding right now in Africa. The region’s worst drought in 60 years has resulted in famine and is threatening the lives of millions in Somalia. Refugees are flooding the roads to bordering countries; mothers are watching their children - who aren't strong enough to make the journey - die in their arms or are forced to leave them on the roadside. We have distribution partners standing ready to distribute any food that we can give them, but we can't produce that food without your help. $65 will allow us to make a box of life-saving RUTF and get it to kids who need it NOW. http://eepurl.com/e-ddU

Nendo is shortened from the Swahili word “mianendo”, which means “trend” or “insight.” “It’s a powerful metaphor in this day and age because people are flooded with tweets and technology, some of them are inundated with it, but insight is so difficult to pick out,” Kaigwa says.

A desperate call in need of an urgent response. Close to 20 million people in three African countries and Yemen are at risk of starvation. The UN secretary general says more than $4 billion is needed within the next three weeks or many more will die. Antonio Guterres made an emergency visit to Somalia, where a national disaster has been declared because of drought. About half of the country’s population faces severe food shortages. In South Sudan, famine has been declared in parts of the country. Up to a million people there will soon run out of food. And, the UN says, 400,000 Nigerian children face malnutrition. Close to 80,000 of them might not survive the next few months. What can be done to save the lives of millions in this part of the world? And just who is supposed to act? Pr...

Transferring the US’s largest permanent military base in Africa to China could cripple the US’s social, military and economic influence in the region. The tiny state of Djibouti is home to the US largest permanent military installation in Africa that includes 4,000 troops and a fleet of US assassination drones that run bombing missions in regional Muslim countries. Now, Djibouti has ordered the US to vacate its secondary Obock military base in the country in a bid to turn over the installation to the Chinese military and its contingent of 10,000 troops, raising major concerns in Washington, which holds the largest military base in Djibouti, Camp Lemonnier.

Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News A series of bloody attacks has rocked Kenya since the September 2013 Westgate mall massacre in Nairobi that left 67 people dead. Curiously, some recent victims in these attacks have been Muslim sheiks that were associated with al Shabaab, the jihadi group that took credit for the deadly Westgate attack. Even more curiously, all of the high-profile sheik murders have taken place in the same area in Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city. VICE News headed to Mombasa to speak with Abubaker Shariff Ahmed, the highest profile radical sheik in Kenya, before he was assassinated in April, and to get a close-up view of those living and dying in the crosshairs of a holy war being fought on Kenya's streets.
