Ανατολική Αφρική

Ανατολική Αφρική (κατά τον ΟΗΕ)

Γεωγραφική Ανατολική Αφρική, μαζί με τα τμήματα του ΟΗΕ και της Κοινότητας Κρατών της Ανατολικής Αφρικής

Ανατολική Αφρική ονομάζεται η πιο ανατολική περιοχή της Αφρικανικής ηπείρου, όπως ορίζεται από τη γεωγραφία ή τη γεωπολιτική. Σύμφωνα με τον Οργανισμό Ηνωμένων Εθνών, 19 περιοχές σχηματίζουν την Ανατολική Αφρική:^[1]

Τανζανία, Κένυα, Ουγκάντα, Ρουάντα, και Μπουρουντί – μέλη της Κοινότητας Κρατών της Ανατολικής Αφρικής (EAC). Το Μπουρουντί και η Ρουάντα θεωρούνται μερικές φορές μέρη της Κεντρικής Αφρικής.
Τζιμπουτί, Ερυθραία, Αιθιοπία, και Σομαλία – συλλογικά γνωστές και ως Κέρας της Αφρικής^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
Μοζαμβίκη και Μαδαγασκάρη – συχνά θεωρούνται μέρη της Νότιας Αφρικής. Η Μαδαγασκάρη συνδέεται στενά πολιτισμικά με την Νοτιοανατολική Ασία και τα νησιά του Ινδικού Ωκεανού.
Μαλάουι, Ζάμπια, και Ζιμπάμπουε – συχνά συγκαταλέγονται επίσης στην Νότια Αφρική, και παλαιότερα μέλη της διαλυθείσας Κεντροαφρικανικής Ομοσπονδίας.
Κομόρες, Μαυρίκιος, και Σεϋχέλλες – μικρά νησιά στον Ινδικό Ωκεανό
Ρεϋνιόν και Μαγιότ – Γαλλικές υπερπόντιες περιοχές επίσης στον Ινδικό Ωκεανό.
Νότιο Σουδάν, νέο ανεξάρτητο κράτος

Ο όρος Ανατολική Αφρική χρησιμοποιείται συχνά για να αναφερθεί στην περιοχή που σχηματίζεται μεταξύ της Κένυας, της Τανζανίας και της Ουγκάντας,^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10] και (η πιο ευρεία έννοια του όρου) συγκαταλέγει επίσης τη Ρουάντα, το Μπουρούντι, τη Σομαλία, το Τζιμπουτί, την Αιθιοπία, την Ερυθραία και το Νότιο Σουδάν.^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16]

Η Αίγυπτος και το Σουδάν αν και αποτελούν τμήμα του βορειοανατολικού μέρους της ηπείρου^[17] , θεωρούνται κομμάτι της Βορείου Αφρικής.^[18]
