East Africa Daily is Africa’s latest non-profit journalism projects.
Despite being a new global big-business frontier, harboring the greater Indian-ocean circle–the world’s top trade route–Eastern Africa is yet to claim its place in the world’s geopolitics.
East Africa’s socio-economic and political space is thus polarized with a competition for supremacy between its both global and domestic chargé d’affaires and its greater-good advocates. In fact, the story of East Africa’s current reality is a tale of challenges overriding possibilities. This is the ugly reality of this competition.
East Africa Daily was founded by a group of young media professional from Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda to create awareness on these issues and shape public discourses as in order to collectively claim our place on global arena.
We are a platform providing news, information and expert analysis on East Africa’s collective reality, positioning ourselves as the region’s truest narrative.
We are using new media tools to highlight the pitfalls and precious gems on our way to the full integration of the East African people.
