Abstract
This postscript does not intend to summarize the preceding chapters, nor does it intend to forward any conclusions. The present volume has provided new empirical data and refreshing perspectives on a neglected field within Ethiopian studies, which, at the same time, have identified areas in need of further investigation—areas which would enhance both our understanding of the region and of Islam in Africa more in general. First presented at workshop in Bergen, Norway in September 2010, the chapters have not been able to capture some very recent and crucial developments with regard to Islam, politics, and the Ethiopian state. This postscript will address this by discussing these events and analyzing their significance for the development of Ethiopian politics and for relations between the Muslim population and the state.
