Islam in Eastern Africa: Historical Legacy and ...

Islam in Eastern Africa: Historical Legacy and Contemporary Challenges By Abdalla Bujra Executive Director, Development Policy Management Forum (DPMF). August 2002. Addis Ababa Islam in Eastern Africa: Historical Legacy and Contemporary Challenges By Abdalla Bujra Introduction The history of Islam in Eastern Africa is very important in explaining the contemporary place of Islam in this part of Africa. But Islam in this vast region has different and diverse histories. Islam came to Christian Ethiopia when the Prophet Mohammed was still alive. But it came to Burundi , Rwanda and DR Congo only in the 19th century. I will thus argue in this paper that it is the specificity of the histories in different parts of this region which have shaped the different place and role of contemporary Islam in the countries of the region. For example the place of Islam and therefore its problematic in the Sudan contrasts sharply with the problematic of Islam in Ethiopia/Eritrea, with Somalia and in the rest of the region.
