* The rise of Islam: The spread of Islam in the region led to a loss of trade for Aksum, as well as a decline in its political power.
* Internal conflicts: Aksum was also facing internal conflicts, such as a struggle between the king and the nobility, which weakened the kingdom.
* Economic decline: Aksum's economy was also in decline, due to a number of factors, including the loss of trade and the rise of new economic centers in the region.
* Climate change: Aksum was also facing a period of climate change, which led to droughts and famines, which further weakened the kingdom.
As a result of these factors, Aksum eventually went into decline and was conquered by the Ethiopian kingdom of Yifat in the 13th century.
