Responses:

Several of those countries have had civil wars or have been very close. It’s likely a disaster in the making. -- nm - spamlet Dec 11, 14:12 2
- and apparently they want to add Ethiopia and DRC Congo into the mix - Reagen Dec 11, 14:13 1
  - If they can figure out how to unify foreign policy while giving each cultural group their own self-determination without killing them, then it just might work. -- nm* - Mop Dec 11, 14:25
When I think of a melting pot of humanity and human decency, I think of Rwanda. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 12:46
I’m personally sceptical this will get anywhere - how are people like Kagame, Museveni, Kenyatta going to share power? They all want to be in charge -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 12:14
game changer for the continent if that happens. -- nm - Remlik Dec 11, 10:38 2
- But why not call the currency African Schilling rather than East African in hopes that it gets broadly used in the continent? -- nm - zork Dec 11, 10:41 1
  - Old and busted vs new and shiny -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 10:51
Driving side: both -- nm - zork Dec 11, 10:36
Wow. Had not heard of this -- nm - prayformojo Dec 11, 10:35
nice flag! -- nm - mud Dec 11, 10:31 4
- I'd say get rid of the writing and the map and it's a solid flag. -- nm - Krusty Dec 11, 12:12
- I don't like map flags, in general. -- nm - Reagen Dec 11, 10:32 2
  - what if they expand and allow other countries to join? then they have to replace all the flags. annoying. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 10:43 1
    - European union didn't require everyone use the union flag -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 11, 10:57
