Ficheni hii kama white ball lets the media and the bloggers concentrate on Butere girls, and it is this headline that tells the story of William Ruto's presidency. If this had happened during Kibaki's or Uhuru's tenure, this would have been the topic for weeks

My commentary,
The GDP PPP for Egypt is bonkers, we've got a heavy weight in our midst.
Nigeria is another heavy weight, things seems to be turning slowly in their favour but only time will tell.
Uganda seems to be growing fast, and with its low per capita there is tonnes of runway left.
East Africa still lags matters per capita income, lots of potential. When Ethiopia and DRC get their act right the entire region will be in for a bonanza.
Its sad seeing Sudan drop out of this list, hopefully they get thru the tough spot they are in.

Are you saying Ruto's presidency is about waiting for other economies impacted by war to fail? Artificial metrics

"Impacted by war"
You think the birr was devalued because of the sporadic wars in Ethiopia? Who doesn't know that the Birr was propped up, just like the Tanzanian shilling is?

When they defaulted and in order to secure IMF funding in the renegotiation of their debt, they had to float their currency and that resulted in the devaluation. Their economy was artificially propped up and now they are living their reality.
