The most recent attempt to re-energize the free trade movement in Africa occurred in early 2001, when Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, member states of the East African Community (EAC), committed themselves to relaunching their bloc, 24 years after it collapsed. These countries have 80 million inhabitants and intend to establish a customs union, regional court, legislative assembly, and eventually a political federation. Includes cooperation on immigration, road and telecommunications networks, investment, and capital markets. East African Community was originally founded in 1967, dissolved in 1977, and revived with the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community signed in 1999 by Kenya, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania. Burundi and Rwanda became members in 2007 while South Sudan gained accession in April 2016.
