To strengthen Mozambique's military forces, England and France plan to enable the Mozambique colony to use local Blacks to form a military force. Though the Portuguese are reluctant, with such a highly expansionist regime like East Africa nearby, they can accept it.
The image of East Africa in Southern Africa does not differ much from that of Tsarist Russia in Europe, though Russia is slightly more superior. In the Asian region, Russia is also like this, so Russia's international image is globally known, whereas East Africa merely has some presence in Southern Africa; it's ineffective when it comes to West Africa or North Africa. For instance, Egypt holds a fairly good impression of the East African government, but apart from those displaced to North Africa by East Africa, most countries are unaware of East Africa's existence.
