What happened to Cushitic elites of Kingdom of Kush

Just wondering if the elites of the Kingdom had descendants today

Nubians, Sudanese Arabs from the Northern part of North Sudan, and Bejas are their descendants.

Nubians and Sudanese Arabs language shifted. With Sudanese Arabs it has been well-documented, for Nubians it happened before extensive written history.

Cushitic used to be more widespread in North Sudan before Nilotes and Arabs made Cushites disappear into a tiny minority.

Same thing happened in Kenya, but then with Bantus and Nilotes conquering Cushites there.
 
They went nowhere, they simply now speak Arabic & identify as Arabs.

Cushitic identity is still largely preserved by the Beja minority. However, Arabisation is slowly happening amongst them.
 
The Kingdom of Punt was a Somali kingdom. One its most well known kings was King Baraxow or King Perahu in english
No. It expanded in Somalia but it's a known fact it started in eastern Sudan/Eritrea region. Just by looking at theoretical maps of Punt it's obvious it didn't start in the coast of SL.
 
I'm sorry but people in the western part of land of punt (tigray-tigre part)are long gone tigre-tigrayens have a lot of South Arabian blood (highest out of horn of Africa), genetically it's probably afars that are the closest to the puntite people, neither tigrayens or Somalis (but we somewhat close to Afars :D)
