AH Question: East African Federation?

Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and Rwanda are already working towards uniting. They have a common market, and a common currency is due by 2012, with federation due by 2015.
 
Very possible. I did a TL a while ago where our modern East African Community formed around 1965, it united around 1980, and I ended with it with Barrack Obama being elected President of the EAF in 2010.
 
His mother was American so....

remember the butterflies.

He was born prior to the POD

His father played a bigger role in East Africa in this world, and the butterfies are what caused BO to move there. The main divergance is that when his father got in the car wreck, he lived, Barack went to go see him, and had some sort of Epiphany. The result, is after college, he dedicates his life to Bettering the East African Federation.

I wonder if it would be worth re-doing this timeline...

At the very least look into it. It sounds like it would be good so long as you can make Obama identify as Kenyan (or East African) over American.

Thanks for the opinion. And his identidy does shift. For example, in my timeline, his book Dreams of my Father is instead Lands of my Father.

There were a few points I was trying to work out though. Think I should post a thread?
