Still, skin color is just a product of melanin...the lightest people in Ethiopia are the Wallega Oromo and the darkest Ethiopians are the Arssi Oromo. The Wallega live in the highest mounts and the Arssi living in lands more flat and dry than Hawiye. Get educated.
Kenyans especially the ones around Nairobi live in much higher lands than Ethiopians but are very blick (almost blue black).
Mixture with Arabians gave them the lighter color. Unmixed Ethiopians like the Western Nilotes whom also live in the highlands don't have a lighter color either.
