Horn of Africa is clearly in Sub-Saharan Africa, just like their fellow Tanzanians and Kenyans, just like Nigeria being in West Africa and North-West Africa despite being more northern geographically than Horn of Africa. Moreover, Horn of Africa isn't considered by anyone as part of North Africa. Please don't enforce nonsense. Horn is in EAST Africa which and surrounded only by East African countries.

'''Northeast Africa''', or '''''Northeastern Africa''''' or '''Northern East Africa''' as it was known in the past, is a geographic regional term used to refer to the countries of [[Africa]] situated in and around the [[Red Sea]]. The region is intermediate between [[North Africa]] and [[East Africa]], and encompasses the [[Horn of Africa]] ([[Djibouti]], [[Eritrea]], [[Ethiopia]] and [[Somalia]]) as well as [[Egypt]], and [[Sudan]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Swain |first1=Ashok |title=Ethiopia, the Sudan, and Egypt: The Nile River Dispute |journal=The Journal of Modern African Studies |date=December 1997 |volume=35 |issue=4 |pages=675–694 |doi=10.1017/S0022278X97002577 |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-modern-african-studies/article/abs/ethiopia-the-sudan-and-egypt-the-nile-river-dispute/15B114D1188FDAF5AC46E4A289812CE0 |language=en |issn=1469-7777}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Sadr |first1=Karim |title=The Development of Nomadism in Ancient Northeast Africa |date=30 January 2017 |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |isbn=978-1-5128-1854-3 |url=https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Development_of_Nomadism_in_Ancient_N/u04rEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=northeast+africa&printsec=frontcover |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Schandelmeier |first1=Heinz |last2=Thorweihe |first2=Ulf |title=Geoscientific Research in Northeast Africa |date=14 December 2017 |publisher=CRC Press |isbn=978-1-351-44524-5 |url=https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Geoscientific_Research_in_Northeast_Afri/ZQZDDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=northeast+africa&printsec=frontcover |language=en}}</ref><ref>"Northeast Africa is neither geographically or climatically uniform.

Northeast Africa, or Northeastern Africa or Northern East Africa as it was known in the past, is a geographic regional term used to refer to the countries of Africa situated in and around the Red Sea. It includes Egypt, Libya and Sudan. The region has a very long history of habitation with fossil finds from the early hominids to modern human and is one of the most genetically and linguistically diverse regions of the world, being the home to many civilizations and located on an important trade route that connects multiple continents.[1][2][3][4][5]
