As far as the issue of religious identity was concerned, only emperors Tewodros (r. 1855-1868) and Yohannis IV (r. 1872-1889) attempted to formally proscribe the practice of the Islamic religion, endeavouring to enforce mass conversion to Christianity to enhance national unity. However, despite several initial campaigns, their edicts had no serious and long-term effect on the religious situation in Ethiopia. Emperor Minilik II (r.1889-1913) also hoped for more religious unity, but after a few abortive mass campaigns and revolts he did not use force or legal measures to achieve it, as long as the dominance of Christianity, as the ideological framework of the empire, and the loyalty of elites were guaranteed. The campaigns of expansion of Emperor Minilik, who at the end of the nineteenth century almost doubled the size of Ethiopia, led him into many Islamic and other non-Christian areas, for instance the territories of the Oromo, Sidama, Harari, Somali, Wolayta and Kaficho. In the course of this southward movement, several peoples resisting conquest and submission took up Islam as a resistance ideology against the Christian overlords, who usually took away most of their land and destroyed or redirected their economy. The Arssi Oromo, who live some 200-300 km. south of Addis Ababa, are a case in point (Abbas Haji 1992, 1993): seen by Emperor Minilik first as a target of huge cattle raids in the early 1880s, their country was conquered in a violent campaign, during which the Arssi-who until then had had their own traditional religion-came to identify 'Christianity' (the religion of the emperor and the large body of the army) with looting, cruelty, gross injustice and oppression. In their search for an overarching collective identity beyond their local belief system, Islam was attractive, as it forged links with groups further removed from them (Somali) but known to have a tradition of successful armed resistance to invading foes. According to Abbas (1993) and others, this conquest sowed the seeds of the failure of the modem Ethiopian nation-state project, despite 40 years of tactical manoeuvring by Emperor Haile Sellassie (Haylai Sillase) (r.1930-1974) to develop a modem, inclusivist state drawing in the different ethnic groups under a programme of Amharization (in the linguistic sense mainly). In this context, Islam in Ethiopia had no defining role in the formation of national identity, and it also remained second-class under his regime, although very gradually some restrictions (in political participation, education, celebration of religious holidays) were lifted.

The stated aim of this war was to root out and destroy Christianity in the area and to end the Solomonic monarchy (which had been reinstated in 1270). The havoc and destruction wrought by this 14-year war (1529-1543), during which virtually the whole of Highland Ethiopia was conquered and a great number of centres of Ethiopian Christian civilization were destroyed, long shaped the Christian perception of Muslims as the 'danger from within.'

There is of course the fake Ethiopian Nationalism advanced by the ruling class and unwillingly accepted and even propagated by innocent fellow travellers.

What are the Ethiopian people composed of? I stress on the word peoples because sociologically speaking at this stage Ethiopia is not really one nation. It is made up of a dozen nationalities with their own languages, ways of dressing, history, social organization and territorial entity. And what else is a nation? It is not made of a people with a particular tongue, particular ways of dressing, particular history, particular social and economic organization? Then may I conclude that in Ethiopia there is the Oromo Nation, the Tigrai Nation, the Amhara Nation, the Gurage Nation, the Sidama Nation, the Wellamo [Wolayta] Nation, the Adere [Harari] Nation, and however much you may not like it, the Somali Nation.

By virtue of His Imperial Blood, as well as by the anointing which He has received, the person of the Emperor is sacred, His dignity is inviolable and His Powers indisputable. He is consequently entitled to all the honors due to Him in accordance with tradition and the present Constitution. Any one so bold as to seek to injure the Emperor will be punished.
"Socialism is a beautiful word and, so far as I am aware, in socialism all the members of society are equal— none low, none high. In the individual body, the head is not high because it is the top of the body, nor are the soles of the feet low because they touch the earth. Even as members of the individual body are equal, so are the members of society. This is socialism.
In it the prince and the peasant, the wealthy and the poor, the employer and employee are all on the same level. In terms of religion there is no duality in socialism. It is all unity.
Looking at society all the world over, there is nothing but duality or plurality. Unity is conspicuous by its absence. This man is high, that one is low, that is a Hindu, that a Muslim, third a Christian, fourth a Parsi, fifth a Sikh, sixth a Jew. Even among these there are sub-divisions. In the unity of my conception there is perfect unity in the plurality of designs.
