In this particular thread, I would like to state few undisputed facts.
1. Isaaq has 3 Federal Representives while Gudobiirsi had nothing before 2010 election. In 2010 election, one Gudabiirsey naanaab stole a seat that belonged to Ciise and as such sent their first ever Federal parliamentarian to Addis. The three Isaaqi Representatives are Sacad Muuse, Idagala (Aware) and Habar Yoonis (Gashanmo).
2. Isaaqi land mass in Ethiopia is 10 times bigger than that of Gudo+biirsi
3. Isaaqs settle some major towns including Harta sheekh, Aware, Gaashaamo, Wajaale, Harshin, Danot etc. Harta Sheekha alone is twice as big as Aw Barre, the largest GudoBiiris settlement in Ethiopia.
With those facts alone, comparing GudoBiiris to Isaaq is like comparing Nepal to China.
Here is the list of Federal reps before last election. The clan proportion is some what the same with few exceptions like Gudobiiris gaining one seat and Ciise losing one of their four seats.

The Gudabiiris land is same or less than that of Sacad Muuse.

This bullshit about AwBarre having 340,000 population and 260,000 of those voting is beyond believable.How could that be possible!!! Does that mean even 3 month-old infants were allowed to vote. Plus, AwBarre has 70,000 more people than Jigjiga woreda, come on!! This aerial survey method they conducted in the Somali zone is lacking credibility. The same damn survey records AwBare town has more people than a city twice its size(Harta-Sheikh).
One last thing about AwBare district is why didn't those numbers translate into federal parliamentary seats! There was no single Federal rep before last election for the Indha-xabaglayaasha.
Here are Cagdheers complaining the AwBarre joke claiming it to be a political rather than a geniune population estimate..
