To speak of East Africa along the entire Indian Ocean coast, it is notoriously infamous. On the one hand, East Africa's colonial activities are indeed more brutal than those of traditional colonial powers like England and France. On the other hand, with the presence of the British megaphone, East Africa, in reality, gets no good reputation. Thankfully, East Africa is indeed no innocent flower.
The hegemony of a nation is composed of a combination of military, economic, public opinion, and other factors. For instance, in the previous era in the Middle East, Western countries committed murder and arson, theft of oil, stirred up conflicts, sold arms in large quantities, and overthrew legitimate governments, all in the name of promoting "democracy," safeguarding "human rights," and combating "extremism" and "terrorists."
