one state vs. another so much as large groups that the authorities can't control doing battle with other groups. Kind of like the Walking Dead, too.

in the center/East, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda have a trade bloc that is dissolving borders slowly. I could see Kenya leading.

In response to Reply # 0
