A late joiner to the discussion but wanted to get my two cents in. I would think that the US might want to keep the French out of Kenya at all costs. Been starting my own module there similar to what Raellus is doing but where the US got its shipment of vehicles thru to there and thus didnt need any help from France.
The refinery at Mombasa is most likely being used to make refined products for the RDF - and all the US doesnt need is the French having a say in who gets the refined products.
And the Kenyans may see how other areas in Africa are falling under French domination and not like the return of a colonial power to their country (especially as they were never a French colony to begin with).
I think the French may get a much better welcome in West Africa than they will in the East with the exception of Dijbouti which was their colony at one time. (as detailed in the RDF module)
