Water.

It's the aftermath of a world war, Kenya needs resources especially water for agriculture. Perhaps they start to construct irrigation systems and the Egyptians object to the point of threatening war. It might be a long drive through Sudan to attack Kenya but there are highways literally leading from Egypt right up to Kenya and the Egyptians might choose naval or air attacks instead.

The Egyptians might not even attack directly, they may pay Sudanese or Ethiopian rebels to attack (or even Somalians).

That's a very interesting idea. An Egyptian-backed Sudanese invasion in '98 or later would add yet another adversary for the 173rd in Kenya. I might add that to my Proud Lion scenario/campaign setting. Thanks.
