Summary

The chapter summarizes the main findings of the study and reiterates its main arguments. It then discusses the continued insurgencies and unrest leading up to the Ogaden-war (1977-1978), pointing to both continuity and change in relation to the 1960s’ insurgency. It also situates the Bale insurgency within more contemporary political developments and pays attention to how various religious reform movements and processes of politicization of ethnicity have added layers of complexity related to ethnicity and religion in today’s Ethiopia. Applying the notions of ethnic and religious objectification, the chapter underscores how the ethnic and religious dimensions of peoplehood became more consciously articulated as separate. The chapter concludes with a few remarks on the broader relevance of the study. It points to how the theoretical framework has proven fruitful for this particular case, allowing for a richer account of the complex dynamics behind the Bale insurrection, while underscoring that it remains relevant for other cases as well.
