We can exclude Northwest Africa as the source of Basal Eurasians, but not necessarily Egypt or even the Horn of Africa, which have the highest diversity of E1b1b clades today, including very old ones not found anywhere else.
I don't think Basal Eurasians are exclusively associated with E1b1b after all Iran Neolithic and hunter-gatherers had higher levels of Basal but no E1b1b.
