[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elite Diasporan: [QB] There was an Arab invasion of Christian Nubia[Makuria] by the Arab Rashidun Caliphate. The Rashidun Caliphate got whooped in both battles of the Dongola war and a peace treaty was signed. After the war Arabs slowly trickled in and married their way into the culture. Most of the relations was Arab men and Nubian women. This is why the majority modern day Sudanese paternal lineages are Middle Eastern J and their maternal lineages are African. Egypt is a different story. Arabs were invited in to defeat the Byzantines if I remember correctly. Northwest Africa was another different story. There WAS a Arab conquest of Northwest Africa. However, Northwest Africa was sparsely populated and there was not a strong Arab settlement in Northwest Africa like there was with Egypt and Sudan. Most Northwest African Eurasian admixture seems to be mostly European. Hell their paternal lineages is mostly African while their maternal is mostly European. The historical background of North Africa is not monolithic just like with their genetic history. [/QB][/QUOTE]
