In this scenario in the late 50s to early 60s as colonialism was ending. Ethiopia along with several African Countries decide to band together to form a massive African country to make an African Powerblock on the continent. These are the Countries that join.
Somalia
Sudan
Central Africa Republic
Cameroon
Nigeria
Kenya
Madagascar (Their Offshore State)
All of these nations put aside whatever differences they have and move to industrialize like the west. They cut some deals with the US for help with building up infrastructure across the new nation. After several years by 1975 they have modern rail lines and an African version of the US interstate system. Various US Corporations have also set up shop due to cheaper labor and are helping to raise the standard of living across Greater Ethiopia. This nation has sided with the US in the Cold War and has agreed to have a few US military bases on both coasts. How do things play out post 1975 to today?
