So, a christian Nubia would be likely sort of African "Armenia" towards west
Well...The better POD is a Crusader Egypt, far less unlikely that it sounds.
So, a christian Nubia would be likely sort of African "Armenia" towards west, quite friendly and even the possibility of matrimonial alliance with metis rulers.
Coptism in Egypt would be likely reinforced, by that AND by Crusader rule as oriental churches in Palestine OTL.
The slave trade would still exist in eastern Africa, thanks to arabic harbours but would know certain difficulties. Possibility to have a christian reprobabtion of slavery, but unlikely.
Certainly the Arab rulers would be realy pissed of having a christian side on Red Coast and it would be likely often piraced and raided up to the abandon of the coast.
Still, early decline of eastern african arab-controlled coast.
Africa won't stay the "Dark Continent" and there might be less at least large scale colonization.
That was my thought as well... everybody says what I'm about to say better and before I can.![]()
Considering none of this happened IOTL while Ethiopia was a christian hold-out surrounded by islamic states, I'm going to have to call shenanigans.

I didn't know that OTL Egypt was conquered by Crusaders enough long to became an actual state.
If you look closely, that was a needed POD.
What I'm saying is that I don't think your conclusions spring forth from your POD.
