It argues that many of the leading members of the pro-independence Muslim intelligentsia, defined in thh article broadly as the fluid group of waters, Eritreans within the former Italian colonial civil service, and religious scholars serving within or associated with the Eritrean Muslim League, contributed to the naüonaUst movement by taking advantage of the extensive "Islamic social capital" across the region.
