Yes a North African-Like People built these Monuments in North Sudan.
Well the Ancient Egyptian culture permeated down to SSA in the form of Nubia, Axum, Sahelian empires of Ghana and Mali, and the Swahili/Banadir coast civilization all before European Colonization.
Europeans were cave dwelling hunter gathers prior to non-European neolithic farmers from the Near East bringing over agriculture and along with that civilization.
Likely Intermediate. There was also no North Sudan. It was an extension of Southern Egypt.
Also Axum Burned Kingdom Kush to the ground.
I don't know what remains of Aksum beyond the last Obleix they errected around 1600 y/o during King Ezana's reign. At the time he controlled North Ethiopia, North Sudan, Yemen and parts of Southern Arabia.
The Castle of Gondar in Ethiopia isn't so bad.
We were a nomadic peoples that migrates to find better grazing for our livestock. We didn't exactly have time to dedicate to building monuments that could take decades. Same story with a lot of nomadic peoples, eg. Mongols, Scythians etc.
They want a monument to bolster their self-esteem.
When living in antiquity no matter the location sucked. The probability of them being a part of the largely illerate serf classes would be higher than being among the learned priest or noble classes. They would have been epically scammed by someone calling themselves next to a Pantheon of Dieties or God in authority aka a King/Emperor. And would unquestionably obey. At least Somalis bowed to no one but their creator. We never needed a Tower of Babylon.

Don't think I've ever seen someone completely trash the "WE WUZ KANGZ ND CHIEFS" argument with such eloquence and sound reasoning. I tip my fedora to you, mein FräuleinThey want a monument to bolster their self-esteem.
Of-course i excluded North Africa. North Africa has some of the best mosques and ancient architecture that i’ve seen.If we include North Africa, then Africa does have very impressive looking Mosques that are better looking than Ottoman/Turkish-style, Persian-style and South Asian-style Mosques IMO.
Some examples of Berber/Moorish Style Mosques:

Damn son, you sound like a self hating zealot, you're probably an American the way you use Sub Saharan African as a term it gives an indication of your extreme self loathing.
South African
Oldest mosque in Cape Town built in 1774 by the first Muslims.
The recent discovery of an ancient circular monolithic stone structure site in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is thought to be at least 75,000 years old, pre-dating any other structure on earth, according to South African author and politician Michael Tellinger.
Lesotho
Zimbabwe
The ruins of Great Zimbabwe, Construction on the city began in the 11th century and continued until it was abandoned in the 15th century. The edifices were erected by the ancestral Shona. It's considered a world UNESCO heritage site, this also created mass waves of descendants of Cecil Rhodes to distort the history of this site and justified the establishment of Rhodesia in prior to disregarding Black Historical monuments.
There are more historical sites on this continent

Similar to Medieval European architecture plus they had contact with Portugal during this time so I'm not suprised.

I’m pretty sure it’s known and established that it was built by Portuguese. Even in their own historical accounts.
