The decision by the East African Community (EAC) to recognize Kiswahili and French as official languages, while historic, raises important questions about the practical implications and strategic priorities of the move. On one hand, the inclusion of Kiswahili is a logical and culturally significant choice, as it is widely spoken across the region and serves as a unifying language for millions in East Africa. On the other hand, the prioritization of French as an official language appears less justifiable given the linguistic realities and geopolitical context of the EAC. If 100% of the EAC population is already proficient in English—a widely recognized global lingua franca—it begs the question why French, a language with limited utility among the EAC populace, is being elevated to official status. None of the current political elites, including presidents, are fluent in French, further underscoring the disconnect between the decision and practical necessity. English, already serving as a working language of the bloc, has facilitated diplomacy, trade, and governance effectively. Introducing French as a competing official language could dilute resources and add unnecessary complexity without offering significant tangible benefits. Moreover, the decision seems misaligned with the region’s historical, cultural, and linguistic context. While French has relevance in neighboring Francophone countries, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, its inclusion in the EAC’s official language roster appears to prioritize external considerations over internal cohesion and practicality. This decision risks creating a symbolic gesture rather than a functional policy, potentially alienating citizens who see no practical use for French in their daily lives or regional interactions. The resources required to promote and institutionalize French—developing curricula, training teachers, and translating official documents—might be better allocated to strengthening existing systems and expanding Kiswahili’s reach. Kiswahili, deeply embedded in East African heritage, holds far greater potential for fostering unity and identity within the EAC. Ultimately, while inclusivity and multilingualism are admirable goals, prioritizing French in a region overwhelmingly proficient in English and Kiswahili seems to reflect an externally driven agenda rather than a grassroots need. The decision, though historic, warrants deeper scrutiny to ensure that it aligns with the EAC’s developmental goals, cultural identity, and practical realities.

Jubaland is crucial to Kenya's national security. Kenya's ability to exercise/maintain robust cross-border footprint and political influence is essential to properly inoculate Kenya against Al-Shabaab. Ahmed Madoobe with his experience, moderate and pragmatic politics has proved a solid and dependable ally for Kenya for 2 decades The move by Mogadishu to seek military means to oust him must be viewed by Nairobi as harmful and detrimental to Kenya's own strategic goals. Kenya must warn Mogadishu against further escalation and the risks of destabilising Jubaland.
