The Cushitic connection to the ancient Nile valley

No idea, but I don't think it is that common.

Light eyes are found in all races as a low frequency trait. It's not always a racial thing. Sometimes they could be mutants.

It's incredibly rare for Africans without ocular albinism or admixture to have light eyes. I actually know an Ethiopian with light eyes in rl.

I haven’t seen one Somali or other (non Habesha) Sub-Saharan with light colored eyes the only ones that do have wardeenburg syndrome

What do you mean by "strange looking"? Do you mean that they're outliers? I don't agree, I think that most highland Ethiopians look alike. You need to remember that whilst they do have Omotic ancestry, Somalis also have ~10 % ancient EA lowland hunter gatherer ancestry, which could explain why we look different too. They also adapted to the Ethiopian highlands, which could explain a drift between our phenotypes.

No idea who Gedeo people are, but tbh they don't look Cushitic. I think they're language shifters who have mainly Omotic admixture.
