... and upper Egypt and were invaded by Nilo Saharans at a later period.

Excerpts:

"In antiquity, Afroasiatic languages in Sudan belonged chiefly to
the phylum known as Cushitic, spoken on the eastern seaboard of
Africa and from Sudan to Kenya, including the Ethiopian Highlands.
The longest traceable member of Cushitic in Sudan is Beja, although
other branches such as Agaw and Highland East Cushitic are some-
times mentioned in discussions on the ancient peopling of Sudan."


Conclusion

"The toponymic data in Egyptian texts has broadly identified at least
three linguistic blocs in the Middle Nile region of the second and
first millennium BCE, each of which probably exhibited a great de-
gree of internal variation. In Lower Nubia there was an Afroasiatic
language, likely a branch of Cushitic.
By the end of the first millennium CE this region had been en-
croached upon and replaced by Eastern Sudanic speakers arriving"

My interpretation:

Horn African Beja tribe colonised North Sudan in antiquity and they were displaced by barbaric Nilo Saharan blue blacks, the few remaining Cushites were absorbtby these Nilo Saharans and then a wave of Arab migration created what is today known as the Nubian ethnic group.

You need to realize that Beja weren't the only the northern Cushite. They are extinct now but they used to dominate Egypt and another one dominated western part of North Sudan until multiple invasions came from Europe to Middle east and also Nilotic migration from south Sudan. Same thing happened to southern Cushites that once dominated southeast Africa until they were assimilated/displaced and massacred by Bantus. The surviving Cushitic people exist in the Horn now but somehow a strong southern Arabian influence managed to assimilate the Agew people that once dominate the northern Ethiopian highlands until a birth of new people came who are now known as the Abyssinian people (Habesha).

Beja tribe had their own ancient Kingdom known as Blemmyes. By the way, it was part of Kush Empire until they broke off and established their own independent Kingdom known as Blemmyes.

The Coptic people are a mixture of various backgrounds so they are not native to Egypt.

No, not them lol. They survived but other northern Cushites that use to dominate Egypt and western parts of North Sudan were either fully assimilated or wiped out so basically extinct.
