I'd forgotten about the Confederate Air Force part of the 173rd in Africa storyline. Very cool.
The big question I think has to be sorted out about sub-Saharan Africa and the T2K timeline is what happens with South Africa -- it's remote from Kenya, obviously, but what's going on with it circa 2000 is going to effect everyone else in the region. Apartheid is unlikely to have gone away the way it did IRL with a continued Cold War keeping communist support flowing to the RSA's front-line neighboring states. Whether a continued Apartheid government can keep things together (through increasingly unpleasant, draconian measures, I'd imagine) in the face of the Twilight War and likely conflict with neighboring states, or collapses under internal and external pressures would, either way, send out ripples effecting neighboring states and their nations on their borders, etc.
