Once all the land along the Great Lakes coast has been acquired, these new lands need to be divided into new administrative districts to facilitate management and statistics.

Even before that, northern Kenya was still in a state of temporary non-administrative division.

This time, due to the expansion of the Northwest War, the town of Omolat also fell into East African hands because of its land west of Lake Turkana.

Previously, the East African colonies had no power on the western shore of Lake Turkana, which itself was a natural barrier to East Africa's expansion.

Moreover, at that time, the south was separated by the Buganda Kingdom and many tribes, and it was difficult for the West Kenya region to develop westward.

The shores of the Great Lakes now fall into the hands of the East African colonies, who in turn have taken over the land west of Lake Turkana to Lake Frederik (Lake Albert).

Much of the climate in western Lake Turkana is similar to that of northern Kenya, and it is arid and water-scarce, making it unsuitable for agriculture.

Therefore, the arid land west of Lake Turkana is considered to be the same area as northern Kenya, which actually belonged to northern Kenya in the previous life, but at this time, East Africa occupied it later than the east.

There are many seasonal rivers in this area, which can be seen as a unique feature of the area.

In addition to the fact that only the Omo River basin on the northern shore of Lake Turkana was suitable for large-scale agriculture in the northern part of the East African colonies, Ernst simply designated the entire northern part of Kenya and the Omo River basin as the northern zone.

The capital is set in the town of Omorat, and due to the arid climate in the north, many places are pastoral, so the population is certainly not too large, so it doesn't matter if the area is larger.

In this way, one of the largest administrative regions in East African colonies was born, with the northern region covering more than 300,000 square kilometers and bordering Somalia, South Sudan and Ethiopia in the past.

In the first half of this year, when East Africa annexed the Omo River Valley, the Abyssinian Empire was being beaten by the British, so the East African colonies easily occupied it.

During the colonial era, there were many countries that did not have detailed borders, but spheres of influence, such as the tribes in northern East Africa, which were theoretically similar to vassals of the major powers of North Africa.

So the suzerainty had a reason to protect these tribes, and the Omo River valley was a bunch of black tribes, some of which were subject to the Abyssinian Empire, and some of them were independent.

The East African colonies took advantage of the fact that the Abyssinian Empire was too busy dealing with the British to take care of their younger brothers, so they took the land.

After the end of the war between the Abyssinian Empire and the British, the Abyssinian Empire has now triggered a political crisis, and its country is in chaos, and all forces are busy grabbing the throne, so they are even more concerned about the life and death of the younger brothers in the south.

After the establishment of the town of Omorat, East Africa drove all the indigenous people in the region to the west, and the indigenous people in northern Kenya were packaged and sent to the south by East Africa to develop, and the current pure black indigenous forces in northern East Africa are only the indigenous people in the Somali region.

The Sahara Desert is a dividing line of race, with the desert north including the desert area, which is mostly Caucasian, and the south of the Sahara Desert and the southern edge of the desert are blacks.

Many black people in Somalia are influenced by Arab culture, so they are no different from Arabs in terms of living habits, which is why they can adapt to the desert climate to survive.

Other regions, such as northern Ethiopia, are predominantly white and mulatto, and now East Africa has driven out all the blacks in southern Ethiopia, and without the infusion of new blood, Ethiopia will only become whiter in the future.

Because of the whites who Ethiopians thought they had tanned in their previous lives, and the fact that East Africa will definitely eradicate the pure black forces around it in the future, Ethiopia will definitely have to deal with other races other than blacks in the future.

In addition, northern Ethiopia has a light complexion, and in a few hundred years, it may be able to change to the same skin color as Indians.

Ernst never thought that Indians were white, and his aborigines were more brown and black, that is, the continuous invasion of white people from the north slowly made Indians look a little white.

This is similar to that of Ethiopians, but Ethiopia is close to blacks after all, so it retains more black genetic characteristics.

By cutting off Ethiopia's future contact with pure blacks, Ernst would have avoided blackening in northeastern North Africa.

Maintaining the numerical superiority of the white race in the northeast of North Africa ensures that the northern part of East Africa will not be blackened in the future.

The population of the newly established Northern Zone was mainly concentrated in the Omo River basin in the northwest, especially during the war, when a large number of immigrants entered the Omo River basin, which was dominated by crop farming, while the rest of the northern zone was dominated by animal husbandry.

In general, the livestock industry can feed a relatively small number of people, so there are not many people in the planned grazing areas in the northern region.

For example, if the areas dominated by planting are not developed, the water and grass will be more abundant, and the areas where animal husbandry is developed are generally not suitable for the development of planting.

In addition to the newly established Northern Zone, near the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria), Ernst follows the experience of the previous establishment of the Great Lakes and West Kenya Zones.

Two administrative regions were established in the newly occupied territories, which covered exactly the area of the former four countries of the South and the four countries of the North.

However, the southern four provinces are relatively small, so they should be extended slightly to the north, just along with Lake Frederik (Lake Albert).

The region between the southern four countries is located between the southern shores of Lake Frederick (Lake Albert) and the Western Great Lakes region is established, with its capital in Bujumbura, on the northern shore of Lake Soren (Lake Tanganyika).

The region of the four northern countries is the Great Lakes region, which also includes much land in the northwest.

The capital is located in Kampala, an excellent harbour in the northern part of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria).

And the original Great Lakes (Mwanza) is no longer appropriate to call it that name, previously East Africa was only part of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria).

Coupled with the fact that this area was developed early, it doesn't matter if it is called the Great Lakes region, and now the entire Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) have become inland lakes in East Africa.

The Great Lakes region cannot be used to refer specifically to the large region centered on Mwanza, so in order to distinguish it, the original Great Lakes region was renamed the Eastern Great Lakes Region, except for the name, everything remains unchanged.

The future is talking about the Great Lakes region, which is a geographical concept, referring to the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) and all the land along them.

This time, a total of three new districts have been established, namely the Northern District, the Northern Great Lakes District, and the Western Great Lakes Region. The former Great Lakes region was renamed the Eastern Great Lakes region.
