For ordinary East African citizens, moving into the cities for development, as long as they can secure a stable job, poses no great obstacle; especially with compulsory education in East Africa, even the new generation in the most remote areas has a relatively broad outlook.
This is also the fundamental guarantee behind East Africa's population flows in recent years. Population movement in East Africa is mainly achieved through administrative measures, and only an educated public, under government guidance, will not trigger major conflicts and unrest.
This is not alarmism. In many European and American countries in the 19th century, large numbers of agricultural laborers flooded into the cities, inevitably causing serious social problems. Countries like Germany, where compulsory education was widespread, fared somewhat better.
