What were the effects of the Muslim invasion on aksum?

Aksum had converted to Christianity in the intervening centuries, so the conquest of the Sudan by Muslim forces effectively isolated the Aksumite Christians from the rest of the Christian World and resulted in the creation of the unique Ethiopian Tawhedo Church. Furthermore, the arrival of Islam on both Ethiopia's northern and eastern flanks effectively cut-off Aksum from the sea-trade that had made it historically powerful, making the subsequent Abbysinian Kingdoms weaker than their Aksumite forebearers.

Why do Ethiopians have paler skin than most Africans?

This is a very simple question. Back in the day of the Aksumite Empire, Both Yemen and Southern parts of Saudi Arabia were a part of the Aksumite Empire. When these two races, dark black Aksumites and Pale Arabians mixed, the tannish color of the Ethiopian people formed. I know this because I am Ethiopian and I know a few of my Yemeni ancestors, in fact, I am related to a Yemeni king of the wollo region of Ethiopia, two of them! One is named The Great Ras Ali. The second one is named The Great Ras Ali the second. Anywho, that is how the Ethiopian population developed their tannish skin that is relatively really light compared to our African cousins.
