The **Invasion of Egypt** was an invasion of the Islamic Emirate of Egypt controlled by the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood by the Bovido Imperium as the opening conflict of the Conquest of Africa in September - November 2033.

Having prepared extensively over the prior 5 years for a crusade into Africa for the subjugation of the local Arab population, the local Bovido Imperium garrison stationed in Cairo under the leadership of High Admiral Torrent Koon made their move across the Nile into the Islamic Emirate of Egypt on September 1, 2033 behind a barrage of artillery shots and pushing across the river at Kasr Al Nile Bridge into western Cairo, smashing through the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood defences which had been raised along the bridge, forcing the EIB into a retreat from the onset as the Maximo Exercitus Imperium pushed through the vastly inferior Egyptian holdouts on the western bank of the Nile. With large deployments of *Leopold 3* tanks leading the charge through the busy streets of Cairo, High Admiral Torrent Koon made a televised address to the people of Egypt in which he declared a war upon terror against the Islamic Emirate, launching flurries of *Shenyang FC-31* air fighters into the skies above the nation as soldiers at all Bovido Imperium stations began to mobilise over the river Nile within the day and by September 27th, the Bovido Armies had captured every major city to the west of the Nile, pushing outwards into the Sahara desert to try and catch the fleeing Islamic Brotherhood rebels before they escaped into the neighbouring United Arab Republic, a strong Islamic nation formed in the aftermath of the 2027 Global Banking Crisis to protect itself from the encroaching Bovido armies.

Hearing news of the Bovido Invasion, President Kais Saied of the United Arab Republic ordered General Rachid Ammar to engage in a counter-offensive to push the Bovido armies out of Egypt, rallying to the aid of their allies in the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood, and with significant pressure being put upon the government by Persian President Geena Kulmuni, the UAR launched it's offensive on October 3, 2033 through Libya State into the north of Egypt, catching the Maximo Exercitus Imperium by surprise as the army pushed its way into western Cairo on the 16th of October, engaging the armies of Torrent Koon in the streets of the Egyptian capital city in prolonged guerrilla warfare before the Bovido army secured a crushing blow at the the Giza Opera House where UAR forces were forcefully repelled and sent into retreat alongside the Islamic Brotherhood fighters that had joined forces with the nation, beginning a humiliating withdrawal from the nation as General Ammar attempted to minimise losses on the long march to the Arab boarder in Libya State, which they finally crossed on November 17, 2033 with the Bovido army hot on their heels, ending the first battle of the Conquest of Africa. With the first UAR military operation since the Unification of the Arab State in 2031 ending in failure, the military command of the nation began to stumble as many within the armed forces blamed President Kais Saied for interfering in the operations of the different branches of service, leading to increased army autonomy. The Islamic Emirate of Egypt was dissolved on November 20, 2033, with the lands formerly claimed by the nation now occupied by the Bovido Imperium.
