The reason why East Africa has established a presence similar to an economic colony within Austria-Hungary is essentially due to concerns about the future of Austria-Hungary. As the channel for East Africa to access the Central and Eastern European market, Austria-Hungary plays an irreplaceable role in East Africa's foreign economic development.
And assuming that Austria-Hungary disintegrates like it did in a previous life, with Austria and Hungary becoming two landlocked countries, East Africa's current political investment in Austria-Hungary could go to waste.
Therefore, East Africa must control a coastal location within Austria-Hungary and ensure that this influence is pro-East Africa, so that even if Austria-Hungary falls apart, East Africa can still maintain the trade channel within the former Austria-Hungary territory.
