Extract

It is claimed by many students of economic organizations that the East African Community is unique in the whole world and is one of the most integrated and most advanced of regional organizations for economic and political co-operation. This may well be so if it is compared with thoseorganizations which have sprung up during recent decades in an effort to stem military conflicts. To the many generations of East Africans who have grown up with the idea of co-operation through common services of railways, posts and telegraphs, airways, currency, customs and numerous others, this is not unique. In fact, considering the long period over which the States have been co-operating, the people had expected much more in 1967 than a mere “common market”—they wanted, and still want, a federation, at the least.
