The East African military advisory group, along with military supplies for the Orange people, was sent to the Orange Free State, since the East African military advisory group's apparent identity was as the after-sales personnel for the Austrian-Hungarian Empire purchasing weapons from the Orange people.
This weapons after-sales service is a standard operation, compliant with international arms trade procedures, and facilitates East Africa's involvement in the Orange Free State's internal conflict.
If they were to openly bear the East African flag into the Orange Free State, it would be unseemly for both sides. Even though the British and Transvaal people know East Africa will surely intervene as a bother, as long as this veil isn't lifted, everyone remains surface-level "friends."
While East Africa is mired in turmoil, First Town is hosting the First National East African Food Festival, creating a stark contrast to the war-torn Orange Free State.
