Rastafarianism would not be a good example. Would make American Blacks (Though perhaps African-American is abetter term for that time period, as there weren't many Caribbean and African immigrants at that point.) seem like heretic. Actually wonder if Baptism and Methodism would go back the other way. And Italy got areas of Somalia and Eritrea that the Egyptians had been getting ports in when they were expanding their influence, but dropped around the time of... I dont know, when they got occupied due to defaulting on debts? That is one of the big things for Ethiopia to fear. Getting behind on payments and having Europeans use it as an excuse to occupy the area. But going back to those lands, I expect that if the Abynissians give some crucial support with dealing with the Mahdis in Sudan, then perhaps the British help them out in other areas. The Brits would still likely want most of the Nile, going up to Uganda, but them propping up an ancient kingdom and having it declare itself Ethiopia could plaay well in the popular press. Assimilating the Somalis or subjucating them could be an issue due to the desert between them and the amount of land they hold. I feel missionaries will be crucial in whatever happens. Mainly because the French, Americans, and British were rather keen on them as otherwise their own populations were less thrilled about tax dollars being poured into investing in the fortunates of the rich.
