Rwanda and Burundi accession
There is history missing here, when and how did Rwanda and Burundi join? Most of the article is written as if there are 3 members, and it is all disjointed. Ottawakismet (talk) 22:53, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Time zone?
Will Rwanda and Burundi change their time zone to match the majority of the new federation? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 09:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Official Language of the EAC?
Can someone find a source for what the EAC's official langauge(s) is? I checked their website and nothing popped out at me immediately. All of the docs seem to be in English, but when the presidents come together and chat, wouldn't they use Swhahili? Or am I just being ignorant? Nicolasdz 12:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I now know that the official language of the EAC is English, although there is a move on the one part by Tanzanians to make Swahili an official language, and on the other hand an effort by Burundi an Rwanda to have French as at least a working language. Nicolasdz (talk) 09:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Is it "the EAC" of just "EAC"?
Currently the article is inconsistent in its usage. Nicolasdz 12:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge? East African Federation
if these are the same organization: East African Federation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.137.237 (talk) 05:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the two articles should be merged, but the EAC and the EAF are not exactly the same organization - the EAF is the end-goal of the regional integration process currently overseen by the EAC, whereby the five East African countries come together into one single political entity.

logo without Rwanda and Burundi
Can it be that the logo has still the form depicted in the article? This logo shows a map with the countries Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The new member states, as of 2007, Rwanda and Burundi are omitted. I suppose we need an upate here. T om ea s y T C 22:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Currency Union
According to [] (click and then go to "EAC Development Strategy 2006-2010") the currency Union is to take place in the next phase, 2011 - 2015. I will make the appropriate changes. 140.90.131.108 (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Map changes
The map needs to be updated to reflect the independence of South Sudan. I believe Lesotho is also absent from the map for some reason, presumably an oversight. -Kudzu1 (talk) 09:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
