Not counting the 1,000's who don't report on then census at all?? Many somalis are simply counted with the African American demographic. The birth rates of Somalis in Minnesota is the highest of all groups! There have been 1,000s of Somalis who've relocated to Minnesota from other parts of the U.S, Europe & Canada as well new arrivals who are settled in the area.When I lived there 5 years ago the population was pushing 80,000! :idea:

I agree the Somalis in U.S are around the 1/4 million mark & with our high birth rates we could hit a million in a few decades. Recent Canadian census has Somalis at 200,000 which could be much higher as well! I will go out on a limb & say European Somalis are pushing a million by now... The U.K Somali community is more then 100 years old...It doesn't help we get thrown in with the local Black figures! In the U.S Afro-Caribbean & African expats are around 4.2 million constituting 10% of the entire "Black" population in the United States!

there is around 250.000 somalis in the U.K. Scandinavia around 70-80k (Finland-dan-nor-swe) germany is low around 15.000. france 5-6000 I guess. switzerland there is around 6.000 or more! Holland + belgium there is around 20-25k. the other Communities are so low that they can not even be named here :up:

somalis number 1 favor are (USA, Canada and U.K) followed by Scandinavia + Northern europe (Holland, Belgium, Germany) other Communities are non-existens in the West

I forgot Down under am not sure around 10.000 or maybe more

You fail to concede that large portions of Somalis are throwing in with "Local Black Populations" in those respective countries! Making the Somali population substantially higher then whats put on paper!
