Population of Somaliland + Somalia

[KingMJ]

My guesses:
City [URBAN] populations - INCLUDING IDPs:
Xamar (excluding camps) - 1 million
Hargeisa - 350,000
Bosaso 170,000
Gaalkacyo - 110,000
Baladweyn - 100,000
Baydhabo - 100,000
Kismayo - 95,000
Burco - 90,000

Majority of Somali population live in the South.
the whole Somaliland population is equal to Mogadishu population alone or less.
Somali pops is over 20 million, when you include Greater Somalia .

you need to use facts, not emotion.

ofcourse there are more people in the south,

but somaliland is not equal to moqadishu this is an emotional response..

This is only possible if the Italians and the British as well as your Uncle Siad Barre's Dictatorship were all in on the same conspiracy to minimize the population of the south and Maximize the population of the north...

all evidence points to this rule of thumb,

the south is Twice the population of the north... somalia X 2 the population of Somaliland.

If anyone remembers, I did say the population of the south (i.e. below Gaalkacayo) minus greater Mogadishu area.

But all in all, it is fair to conclude that the overall population is above the 10mil estimate. The overall population of the Somali peninsula is around the 20mil figure IMO.

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

7 million in southern Somalia
1 million in Majerteeniya
2 million in British Somaliland

10 million total.

Is everyone happy?

Dude do you think anyone is going to take you serious after your last rediculous guesstimations.

Puntland has a population of more than 1mil and Somaliland has a population higher than 2mil. Instead of trying to construct this irrationally round 10mil figure. I'd say that although it is difficult to determine the distributions of the populations, the figure is likely to be above the neat and easy 10mil.

[gurey25]

Its 3.5 million in Somaliland.

The ratio has always been 1:2 from British and Italian estimates that i am sure you already googled.
The 1975 census also confirms the same 1:2 ratio.

So how in hell did you get 2 million for the somaliland population?

[waryaa]

Rough road between Bosaso and Berbera: you won't see ppl in the country. Between Mogadishu and Kismayo: the whole area is populated.

Population-wise the south is much larger than the north. It is like US east coast vs west coast. Driving through Somaliland and Puntland is like going through Montana and N. Dakota.

You're f-king retarded to think Khatland = anywhere near South Somalia

Shabelle Hoose + Banaadir = ALL of old British Somaliland with SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND leftovers

-> I'll reserve this space for me to provide some sources, stay tuned khat children.
