A Serious Poll:

[The-Screw]

where do the majority of them live? how scattered are they? in which countries & continents? and finally, name the country(s) you never thought Somalis lived there until you saw it or heard a true story from a liable source from.

[DawladSade]

Do you mean displaced as a whole, displaced internally, displaced externally? Make yourself more clear.

For example all those former MOgadishu resident Darods, Xawaadle etc living in the interior are also displaced like all the Hawiye from the interior living in Mogadishu.

That's enough to say 1 million+

[The-Screw]

that better?

[DawladSade]

95%.

Over 1 million.

[The-Screw]

I don't know how recent or accurate this is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora

Somali diaspora - includes ethnic Somalis who live in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti, as well other parts of Africa. It also includes about 2.5 million people of Somali origin who live in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, and the Middle East as refugees from the civil war. It altogether numbers between seven and nine million. This is almost the same as the population of Somalia itself.

Grant, thank you very much, that right there is exactly what i was looking for.

Not a country but I was surprised to see a somali in New Brunswick Canada.

Thailand.

I called my dad one time and he was in Thailand. I asked him what he was doing in Thailand and he said business, apparently that is a new destination stop for getting the cheapest supplies. Somalis are living large there now, monopolizing on the easy and cheap access to goods there to sell to Africa and the mid-east.

[The-Screw]
