In 2001, 80 per cent (30,461) of Somali born Muslims lived in London – see Table 3
for a list of the top ten boroughs by Somali-born Muslim population. Outside London
there are significant Somali communities in Leicester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Cardiff,
Birmingham, Bolton and Manchester. Recently, other cities such as Newcastle, Bristol,
Glasgow, Edinburgh and Hull have seen a rise in numbers. Leicester is a particularly
interesting case. In 2001 the census recorded only 872 residents born in Somalia,
while in 2008 it has the largest population concentration outside London, estimated
at around 10,000-15,000.24 Most Somali refugees and asylum seekers have settled
in the St. Matthews and St. Marks areas of Leicester and represent the largest Muslim
community in this area.

Looks like Leicester aka mini Gedo is the highest populated city of Somalis after London that is. Fanatasy never works statistics does
Anyone that want's to visit Leicester, I recommend many restaurants such as Tuulo Barwaaqo Cafe. Baardheere Cafe, Nomad Cafe and more. Those sporty people can visit the largest gym owned by Somalis (Marehan) in the UK or you can visit the football associations of beesha. For those that need community help can visit any community in Leicester they are owned by Reer Mudug Marehan's so they sometimes can be hot headed compared to the Reer Gedo Marehan's that own the business venues. Welcome to mini Gedo my fellow Somalinetters.
BTW you don't need to proof who is majority or not, the chief of Somaliland section already did
