In fact, this can be understood. East Africa is no longer the colony with a population of just a few million from years ago; it is now a super populous great power heading towards a population of two hundred million. Currently, only the Far East Empire and India have populations exceeding East Africa's.
And such a vast population will naturally have a very significant impact on the ecology, especially for a region like East Africa where the ecology is relatively fragile.
After all, even the "chosen land" of the United States experienced rapid ecological disintegration when its population just surpassed one hundred million, with issues like large-scale dust storms and vegetation destruction becoming increasingly prominent.
So for a more populous East Africa, this issue can only be more severe, and this also involves the destructive development problem of East Africa over the past few decades.
