No way, Somalis are at least 25 million.

0.5 million Djibouti=
20.5 million Somalis in the Horn of Africa

Sounds about right. 21m is comparable to other ethnic groups in the region such as Amhara and Oromo, which are 26m and 30-odd million in population respectively

Quality of quantity anyday. Sadly, Somalis have neither.

Djibouti 830,000
Killi5 2million
puntland 1.6 million
jubbaland 1.5 million
SW state 1million
Banadir state 1.5 million
central state 1million
somaliland 3million

In other words 12.3 million aid needing nomads



Portugal has almost identical population and territory as Somalia,with no natural resources.

this is embarrassing . we are real laangaabs in this world

Is this with or without AMISOM ?

In the 2016 election, the presidency will be challenged by Reer Burundi and Beesha Sierra Leone

Saaxib the only major somali clan that has more than half of its members outside of Somalia is Darood.
Hawiye, Isaaq, Dir and D&M all have much over half of their population within Somalia.

good thing Darood by itself is equivalent to every other tribe combined. half of Darood being outside Somalia means half of somalis live outside Somalia.

K.O

I have a hard time believing that the estimate for Puntland and Somaliland is correct, there's much ambiguity in the counts made by these two states especially regarding the borders. Also the somalis outside the borders in dadaab need to be counted.
