They've been in the news a lot the past week. How much, if any, are the related to actual Jews in terms of theology? To whom do they appeal?

I'm not very knowledgeable on this subject. I've read along the way that the real Ark of the Covenant was supposed to be in Ethiopia hidden somewhere. I don't know how true that is, but it is a possible connection that the Ethiopians claim gives them legitimacy as one of the lost tribes of ancient Israel. I do know that Israel takes in many black Jews as part of the Aliyah or the return from the Diaspora. So there is that.
