Secondly, Mombasa's current business is somewhat more important than that of Dar es Salaam City; after all, it is the forward base where East Africa and Europe and Asia meet, so many foreign trade operations and exchange centers are set up in Mombasa.
Now, with the war in Europe underway, many businesses that originally lay in the hands of the European powers have naturally transitioned into East Africa's hands, which has made Mombasa the most important information hub on East Africa's East Coast.
Thanks to advances in East Africa's communications technology and the expansion of the national telecommunications industry, with telegraphs, telephones, and the like becoming widespread, orders placed in Mombasa can be quickly transmitted throughout East Africa, and one no longer has to go to a specific city to complete commercial tasks.
