I can go to any nation in Africa and find tribes that trace their history to the Nile Valley
I even try to make it a different tribe.
Algeria
Taureg

The legends of various Ovimbundu royal lineages point to origins in the north and northeast. I think Punt might be more likely as I place it in the great lakes regions
Kibundo
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambundu quote:
The Mbundu are one of the Bantu peoples. They had been arriving in the Angola region from the early Middle Ages on, but the biggest part of the immigration took place between the 13th and 16th century C.E.. Kimbundu is a West-Bantu language, and it is thought that the Mbundu have arrived from the North Africa rather than from the East Africa.[3]
Ok maybe not Angola
Herero

quote:
“does not warrant assertion of an definite place of origin Pastor Meinhof a German ethnologist holds that it is not improbable that before becoming part of the Bantu group of nomads the Hereros came from the Nile areas in the far north and that they were then a mixture of Negro and Hamite This writer indicates certain philological similarities which would imply derivation from some common Hamite stem Tobacco pipe 1 Hamitic Galla East Africa Gaya 2 Herero Amakaya Town 1 ganda 2 onganda He quotes many similar instances”
Benin
Fon
unseenbenin.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/behanzin-the-last-king-of-dahomey-benin/ Fon conqueror being of Yoruba origin , Fon are therefore of Sudanese origin as Yorubas lineage is rooted back to the Sudan. I placed the Yoruba’s origins in the Sudan

Cameroon
Bamileke
On wikipedia
quote:
The Bamileke, whose origins trace to Egypt, migrated to what is now northern Cameroon between the 11th and 14th centuries. In the 17th century they migrated further south and west to avoid being forced to convert to Islam. Another reason for migration was to resist enslavement during the Atlantic Slave Trade. Today, a majority of peoples within this people cluster are Christians.
Central African Republic
Also wikipedia
quote:
The Sara (Sa-Ra) designation appears to have been derived from Arabic, meaning the Sons of Ra, the ancient Egyptian Sun-God. The Sara lived in the north-east along the Nile River before they sought refuge in the south against northern Arab slave raids. Most Sara are Traditionalist in religion, some worshipping the sun. The Sara are agriculturalists; they form the backbone of the Chadian economy, producing cotton, rice, peanuts, corn, millet, sorghum, and cassava. They live in south Chad, the most well-watered part of the country, thus the most agriculturally productive part.
Chad
Toubou
History
quote:
According to Toubou oral tradition they were Nilotic people who left the Nile areas durin "The Kedh Gurrai." The story of the “Kedh Gurrai” (great migration to the south) states that there was a big war which caused people to disperse in different directions. Some stayed, some moved away, and this was also when people converted to different religions; this migration is believed to have happened around 14th Century AD.
Republic of the Congo
Teke
quote:
According to Abraham Constant Ndinga-Mbo (1984:49) Teke are the oldest stratum of the Bantu population in the Republic of Congo. The historical analysis considers three ways of the first Bantu migration movements, leaving all of the basin of the Nile: the southern way, the equatorial way and the northern way. The Bantu groups borrowed the Nordic way. Indeed, this itinerary is the one that would have been followed by the Bantu detachments that, after having crossed the south-Sudan, the present country of the Central African Republic, reached the region of the Chad lake. This lagoon region of Chad has, it seems, served as a temporary habitat to these Bantu groups before migrating again toward the basin of the Benue (Itoua, op.cit.: 51-52) The Benue was not also a definitive habitat for all of them. From this position the Bantu groups took another migration southwards while borrowing three directions (Guthrie, 1985):\
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Mangbetu
This quote is all over the net. Not sure of the origins.
In the middle of the 18th century the Mangbetu people left the Sudan, they re-located their kingdom in the north-eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangbetu_people#History Says they come from the north.
Cote d'Ivoire
Akan
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_people quote:
Oral traditions of the ruling Abrade (Aduana) Clan relate that they originated from ancient Ghana. They migrated from the north, they went through Egypt and settled in Nubia (Sudan). Around 500AD (5th century), due to the pressure exerted on Nubia by Axumite kingdom of Ethiopia, Nubia was shattered, and the Akan people moved west and established small trading kingdoms.
Djbuti
Afar
The Afar are basically nomad squatters.
Egypt
Nubians-Copts
Equitorial Gunie
Igbo
I’m on the fence with Igbo, there are scattered tales, they share words and they did build pyramids.
Eritrea

quote:
are believed to be one of the earliest inhabitants of who originally migrated from the Southern Nile Valley of the Sudan (Nuba Mountains area). The earliest written mention of them comes from an unnamed Arab traveler, who upon visiting Aiwa (near Khartoum, Sudan) in in 872 BCE, noted the 'Cunama' (Kunama) and 'Baria' (Nara) groups were living on the borders of the Alodia (Alwa) Kingdom.[3] Another early glimpse of the Kunama comes from the 10th century Arab geographer Ibn Hawqal. He states they lived in the Barka valley, and fought with bows, poisoned arrows and spears, but did not use shields.[4] He also mentions the Kunama worship a God called Anna, and were ruled by a community of elders.[5]

Beta
Very we waz Jewish. They are worse than the Hebrew Israelites but even the nonsecs trace their history to Egypt.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Israel#Origins quote:
Migrants by the Egyptian route[edit]
According to these versions, the forefathers of the Beta Israel are supposed to have arrived in Ethiopia coming from the North, independently from Menelik and his company:

and several other ‘specialists’:

‘Egyptian’ origin (plateaux of
Bahr-el-Ghazal) for the Fang population, language and culture The Beti-Pahuin's exact origins are unclear. At one point, they were thought to have migrated into the territory of present-day Cameroon from the Azande area of Sudan
I’m on the fence with them too but it does point towards the Sahara. I think the western or central Sahara are in play too.

Serer came to Senegal from the Nile basin
Ghana
Gurunsi peoples
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurunsi_peoples quote:
Oral traditions of the Gurunsi hold that they originated from the western Sudan near Lake Chad. While it is unknown when the migration occurred, it is believed that the Gurunsi were present in their current location by 1100 AD. Following the 15th century, when the Mossi states were established to the north, Mossi horsemen often raided Gurunsi areas for slaves, but the Gurunsi peoples were never fully subjugated, remaining independent.
The western Sudan near Chad is not the Nile Valley. Its more like Robert Bauval's estimated Yam locale.
Guinea
Kpelle
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kpelle_people Just look at the history section.
Guinea-Bissau
Balanta
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanta_people quote:
Oral tradition amongst the Balanta has it that they migrated westward from the area that is now Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia to escape drought and wars. Today, the Balanta are mostly found in the south and central regions of Guinea-Bissau.
Years before my Balanta heavy ancestry test.
Kenya
Kalenjin
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalenjin_people quote:
Linguistic evidence points to the eastern Middle Nile Basin south of the Abbai River, as the ancient homelands of the Kalenjin. That is to say south-east of present day Khartoum.
That's according to Chris Ehret. I think the delta or upper Egypt is more likely.
Lesotho
Zulu
Pretty much all the Nguni tribes.
Liberia
Gio
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gio_people quote:
The Dan originally came from the western Sudan region to the north, part of present-day Mali and Guinea. The location and movements of the Dan, Mano, and We can be reconstructed from as early as the 8th century , at which time the Dan and Mano were located in the savanna region of the northern Ivory Coast.[1] In the tenth century, political turmoil, population growth and land depletion caused the Dan to migrate south of the Nimba range and into the high forests.[2]
Also western Sudan. Now with a name like the Dan you know there are 12 tribe stories that tale them to Egypt. See The Genesis of the Bible

Libya
Berbers general
None of the tribes except maybe the Toubou trace their history to the Nile and I already mentioned them but since there are thousands. Proximity would dictate something.
Madagascar
Nothing but plants which would indicate trade
Malawi
Ngoni

Dogon
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhAt_6ojWM4 The Dogon could be a western Sahara people who maintain an old tradition between Egypt and Tichit… so back to Mali... and nothing new found.

www.mwelase-clan.com/45302121 Sticking with the Nguni migration.
quote:
The ancient history of the Nguni people is wrapped up in their oral history. According to legend they were a people who migrated from Egypt to the Great Lakes region of sub-equatorial Central/East Africa.[1] The Nguni group migrated along the eastern part of southern Africa in their southward move from central Africa. They migrated southwards over many centuries, with large herds of Nguni cattle, probably entering what is now South Africa around 2,000 years ago in sporadic settlement, followed by larger waves of migration around 1400 AD.
Namibia
I have to go back to the Herro. Nambian tribes do not have mainstream tribes of a migration from that far north.
Niger
Hausa
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausa_language Native speakers of Hausa, the Hausa people, are mostly found in Niger, in the north of Nigeria, and in Chad. Furthermore, the language is used as a trade language across a much larger swathe of West Africa (Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Ivory Coast etc.), Central Africa (Chad, Central African Republic, Gabon) and in northwestern Sudan, particularly amongst Muslims.
Rawanda
Batwa
Kinda half way. They don’t trace their history to the region but history and their genes place them in the region.
Sao Tome and Principe
Uninhabited
Senegal
Wolof
wolofresources.org/newwolof.htm quote:
It is thought that the Wolof came to Senegal from the northeast arriving in the Senegal River Valley in the 11th century. They are said to be composed of an amalgam of Mandingo, Sereer and Fula. Cheikh Anta Diop believes that they came from the Nile valley and that the Wolof were part of the formation of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
I always figured there was a Dinka Senegal link with the number of tall NBA players with a similar look and the sharring of the name Dieng. Gorgi Dieng is Wolof. Luol Deng is Dinka.

Somalia
Sorta like the Twa and Afar
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalis quote:
Sudanese, Egyptians, Berbers, North African Arabs, as well as many Mediterranean populations.[168][170] Sanchez et al. (2005) observed the M78 (E1b1b1a1) subclade of E1b1b in about 77.6% of their Somali male samples.[167] According to Cruciani et al. (2007), the presence of this subhaplogroup in the Horn region may represent the traces of an ancient migration from Egypt/Libya.[169]

Dr. Syrulwah Soma has written a book on the history of the Bassa (Nyanyan Gohn Manan: History, Migration and Government of the Bassa) in which he proposes that there were actually Bassa on the throne of Egypt as Pharaohs and that at one point in their history the Bassa traded with Hano of Carthage and led armies in conquest of ancient India.

quote:
The ancestors of AmaXhosa, amaZulu, AbaMbo, amaVenda and many other African people found in Southern Africa created the world’s first Great Civilisation in Kemet starting from around 5 000 years ago. This great civilisation thrived for about 2500 years, being led by King after King, Pharaoh after Pharaoh from among the African people. These ancestors built pyramids to bury their Kings. Those pyramids are still standing to this day in Kemet (Egypt) & in Nubia (Sudan). They built temples to worship the Gods & Goddesses that made it all possible for them to live such a great life, which are still standing to this day. These Gods and Goddesses were mainly simply representations of the various elements of nature/ neter (Sun, soil, air, water, etc.) and certain human attributes such as love, anger, knowledge, right and wrong, etc.
