Ethiopia has often been portrayed as a unique case of peaceful inter-religious relations. The country has, however, seen an increase in violence between religious communities over the last decades, something which has been interpreted within the prism of extremism.

In particular, Østebø suggests a typology consisting of the intersected processes of expansion, protection, and reclaiming of space.
