Being too close to these relatively developed cities in East Africa made Klein feel that the Belgian colony was just like a large rural area, which in fact barely even qualified as that. Although immigration has brought some progress to agriculture in the Belgian Congo, overall, the situation of vast lands with sparse population remains a severe problem.
Of course, if we only compare Black Horn City instead of the entire Belgian Congo, the situation would be much better. As the core of the Belgian Congo, the population of Black Horn City has developed to over one hundred thousand, making it a city of considerable scale.
The development of Black Horn City was actually influenced by East Africa as well. East Africa's new western development has also provided opportunities for the development of Black Horn City, with a large amount of goods from the Belgian Congo Colony transiting through Black Horn for export into East Africa.
