Ok I think the thread could have asked in EA which is the "regional-power" because EAC has not yet produced a member that qualifies as a Super-power. However in EAC there is inevitably a regional-power. And according to description below regional power must:
African powers
Egypt
Nigeria
kenya
South Africa
- be part of a definable region with its own identity
- claim to be a regional power (self-image of a regional power)
- exert decisive influence on the geographic extension of the region as well as on its ideological construction
- dispose over comparatively high military, economic, demographic, political and ideological capabilities
- be well integrated into the region
- define the regional security agenda to a high degree
- be appreciated as a regional power by other powers in the region and beyond, especially by other regional powers
- be well connected with regional and global fora.
