Muslim demonstrators gather outside Addis Ababa’s Anwar mosque on October 19, 2012 to protest against the government interfering in religious affairs. Protestors say the government is trying to impose the moderate Al-Ahbash strain, alien to Ethiopia, and appoint leaders to the Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs, the highest Muslim representative body in Ethiopia. In July 17, Muslim leaders were jailed during demonstrations in Addis Ababa. Nine remain in prison and protestors say they will not stop gathering until their demands are addressed and their leaders released. According to official figures, nearly 34 percent of Ethiopia’s 83 million people are Muslims. AFP PHOTO/JENNY VAUGHAN
