[QUOTE]Originally posted by Orionix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [b] You seem to be an extremely confused individual: Ethiopia, up to the reign of Haile Selassie was an Empire dominated by the Amhara [b]minority [/b]ethnic group. The [b]majority [/b]ethnic group, in terms of population are the Oromo. If you knew better, you would be embarrased by your last statement...[/B][/QUOTE] The Oromo are just Cushitic, originally from N Somalia. They later migrated to the region of Lake Turkana (Lake Rudolf). In the mid-16th century they began to move into the Ethiopian highlands. Never a united group, they were not a serious threat to the Ethiopian state. This doesn't change the fact that Ethiopians are closer related to Yemenis than to Kenyan Bantus for example. Not only genetically but also culturally (much more important since race is based on culture). I guess you're also the guy who wrote this site: [URL=http://www.geocities.com/wally_mo/]www.geocities.com/wally_mo/[/URL] Kemet did not refer to the people's race or skin color, it referred to the land (better said Land of the Nile). It was in reference to the dark, fertile soil that remained after the Nile floodwaters had recededthe. They also used another term, Deshret, or “the Red Land,” a designation for the desert sands that burned under the blazing Sun.
