Why did Israel airlift several thousand Ethiopians to live in Israel recently?
While the exact history of Ethiopia's Jewish community is unclear, the group has certainly been practicing Jewish traditions for centuries. Rituals include the sabbath, the Jewish Torah written in Ethiopian Amharic script, and a unique holiday called "Sigd" which marks the communal memory of Jerusalem. At times, the community suffered persecution for its different religious beliefs, although relations with Christians and Muslims were mostly good.
----------
There are a group of Ethiopians who seem to practice Judaism and are considered a "lost tribe" of Jews.

May I use a Verizon US Iphone in Ethiopia?
I am currently working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S from Apple before heading over. Once I got here, I purchased a local 3G SIM card from EthioTel and had it cut to size (they are very large SIMs).
It works fine, I can use my map feature and install apps from iTunes/App store. I downloaded WhatsApp and can text family in the states as long as there is 3G and/or WiFi.
Hope that helps

Since Moses' wife - Tzipora - came from Midian in northwest Arabia, she probably had a dark complexion.

But according to Josephus Flavius his first wife was the Ethiopian princess Tharbis.
BY JOSEPHUS FLAVIUS ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS BOOK 2CHAPTER 10 PARAGRAPH 2
HOW MOSES MADE WAR WITH THE ETHIOPIANS,
However, while Moses was uneasy at the army's lying idle, (for the enemies durst not come to a battle,) this accident happened: - Tharbis was the daughter of the king of the Ethiopians: she happened to see Moses as he led the army near the walls, and fought with great courage; and admiring the subtility of his undertakings, and believing him to be the author of the Egyptians' success, when they had before despaired of recovering their liberty, and to be the occasion of the great danger the Ethiopians were in, when they had before boasted of their great achievements, she fell deeply in love with him; and upon the prevalency of that passion, sent to him the most faithful of all her servants to discourse with him about their marriage. He thereupon accepted the offer, on condition she would procure the delivering up of the city; and gave her the assurance of an oath to take her to his wife; and that when he had once taken possession of the city, he would not break his oath to her. No sooner was the agreement made, but it took effect immediately; and when Moses had cut off the Ethiopians, he gave thanks to God, and consummated his marriage, and led the Egyptians back to their own land.
Because of Amos 9:7= [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
and Song of Solomon 1:5= I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
It is very possible that(THE JEWS) Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Abraham and Moses wives were all black.

There are some who say that a motley collection of landless Assyrians occupied a part of Egypt, and then built cities of their own, inhabiting the lands of the Hebrews and the nearer parts of Syria."
