Agreed.

But the #5 spot goes to either Baidoa or Kismaayo, not Burco.

Baidoa is especially underestimated by many Somalis.

I never underestimated Baydhabo Janey , but if I were to add it to the top 5 there would be no census to backup my claim.

Instability has had a negative impact on the censuses in particular the south.

One thing I noticed is how Bosaso rapidly outgrew most Somali cities -population wise- in these last couple years, but of course the route to Yemen plays a part. Why don't they switch the capital to Bosaso? Garoowe is less developed and barren.

It mostly grew in the 90s and early 2000s with all the Darods who got kicked out of Mogadishu. Then later followed by others who came for work.

Bosaso has humid hot weather like Djibouti and Berbera. Garoowe is cooler, drier air, and more windy.I like it more. But neither will ever be the capital. Realistically it will always stay Mogadishu.

I definitely meant state capital, but I see.

Mogadishu will be the cosmopolitan city again we once knew. Ugandan and Turkish women in liido beach.

[thegoodshepherd]

The only city in Somalia that has the potential to become larger by many fold is Kismayo. Mogadishu will likely remain the largest for sometime but Kismayo may surprise a lot of people. It is no joke. Kismayo is basically a smaller copy of Mogadishu.

Direction is geographical, you moron. It's not cultural, social, political or anything else.

Puntland = Waqooyi Bari. Trying to argue otherwise shows how incredibly retarded you are.

You clearly have.single digit iq. Puntland is culturaly culturaly, socially , politically and economically southern . Somali people categorize puntland as being southern.

This individual has just proven how retarded and brainless he is. When was the last time you saw a map of somalia instead of relying on what your illiterate uncles have told you.

Your not the first dumb isaaq who says we're southern. Puntlanders were politically more involved in somalias government and run it from mogadisho after Italy left, hence why people say south.

But if you go back you will see that the Majerteen kingdom was known as the northern and central sultanate since he reigned as far as habar gidir land.

Bosaso is more northern and closer to Yemen then all of somaliland please pick up a map and don't humiliate yourself again.

The term waqooyi just refers to your crazy accent.

This joke never gets old: "once upon a time we used to rule habargidir". War nafta ruun uu sheeg hg somali oo dhan hadeey isugu tagto xitaa can not do that. You are forgetting waa ragii AMerica ka cabaadsiye. Go back to the drawing board

Jigjiga Population 2012

Where are the darood kids who said cabuudwaaq is the largest in central Somalia?

[thegoodshepherd]

What an idiot comparing Borama to Jigjiga.

Borama district had 215k residents but only 82k of those were urban. Jigjiga city alone was 150k which is probably an underestimation. Jigjiga woreda alone has over 1 million people.

Jigjiga was at 150k and Mekele, the second largest city in Ethiopia was only at 270k. I have no doubt that by today, Jigjiga is as large as Mekele today.

You can try to deny it hutu boy but history speaks volumes. And go and read pick up any library book on somalia pre colonial you will see majerteen kingdom of Hobyo. It was even the capital of Kenadid's kingdom.

[sahal80]

Only been to mogadishu and djibouti....it doesnt mean clan wise but the majority of djiboutians live in the capital since life is harder in the rural area

so over 600, 000 out of 800, 000 live in the city of djibouti

we cant take seriously the over exaggerated somali figures since theres no govt and each clan....

barre regime was claiming that somali nomads consist 75 percent of the population but now we see that each somali region has over 300,000 D&M plus jareer IDPS!

a driver who has been to ever somali region has once said "i could close my eyes abit specially in the north but when im in the maay region i would make them 10"

So this is my unbiased list

Mogadishu
Djibouti
Hargeisa
Boosaso
Baydhabo

[Togdeer]

Muqdisho, hargeisa, Djibouti, burco, jigjiga
