The Ahbashism campaign is the term that has been applied to a program undertaken in mid 2011 by the Ethiopian government to quell the rise of Muslim extremism, especially Wahhabism, in the country.
Protests
Protests have arisen across Ethiopia in response to the government's Ahbashism campaign. The protestors claim that the campaign represents an illegal repression of their religious freedom by the government. The protestors accuse the government of torturing arrested protestors. In May 2012, the protestors called for new elections to replace the leaders of the Supreme Council.
