Abraham's descendants

This was a superb lecture Rabbi Friedman. However I would like some clarity on the dissociation of Abaham from the continent of Africa. How then do you classify Beta Israel- the alleged offspring of Solomom and Sheba. Is not Solomon of Abraham's lineage and would their children not be related to Abraham? Also what about the Yebba tribe in South Africa whose chromosomes match those of the Cohains in Israel. Anthropologists have found this link and the Yebba Tribe has practiced Judaism for centuries. Would they also not be linked to Abraham.
I'm just seeking clarification. Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your ongoing insight into Torah.

Abraham kin dness of man

The words of Manis Friedman ran out when he touched the topic of African not descendance of Abraham, but he did not explain. Can I get a clarity to that regards.

	Abraham: Kindness is the Man
G-d created the world out of kindness; Abraham was the embodiment of that kindness. Chassidut reveals the nature of Abraham's love and fear, and his relationship with Sarah, Yitzchak, Yishmael and Hagar.
