1. Arab Conquerors: From the 7th century onwards, Arab Muslim armies began invading and conquering parts of northeast Africa, including the region known as the Horn of Africa. These conquests were part of the Muslim conquests and led to the spread of Islam in the region.
2. European Colonial Powers: During the Scramble for Africa in the 19th century, European colonial powers, primarily Britain, France, and Italy, invaded and colonized various parts of northeast Africa, including countries such as Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia.
