Che -Guevara Posted September 12, 2018 That is all Somalis in the Horn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aroori Posted September 12, 2018 according to wiki; we are 27 million ( 26,920,075 to be exact) . but i agree with ducaale, Somalis in the horn are no less than 30 million. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted September 12, 2018 Somalida iyo faankooda. If Somalis are 30 million, surely you will have mega cities of 2 million plus. At the moment only Mogadishu claims 2 million, Hargeisa claims 1 million. Djibouti is < 500k. All the other towns are mere 300k or less. So how can there be 30 million? I think Google is right, 15 - 18 million sounds plausible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest is just the usual guest estimation on the wild side of things. Question is; the entire race living in the horn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallaabo Posted September 12, 2018 I agree with Oodwayne. The Somali population in the entire world is probably not more than 18 million. 12 in the former Republic, 3 in Ethiopia, 2 in Kenya, 700K in Djibouti, 300K dayuusbaro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallaabo Posted September 12, 2018 I know why Che is asking this question now. He has probably read the absurd claims of the opinion-piece writer in HOL who said we are nearly 50 million!!! Personally I prefer the smaller population as it can be managed more easily and given an improved standard of life more quickly if we manage to sort out our political mess.

maakhiri1 Posted September 13, 2018 If you count the pure, 15 million, if you count everyone that speaks Somali, 25 million. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tillamook Posted September 13, 2018 Does anyone have some good statics from reputable sources about the respective populations of our neighboring communities in the Horn? Populations of the Oromo, Afar, Tigre, Amhara and even the Kikuyu and other Nilotic peoples in our immediate vicinity? Much obliged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted September 13, 2018 I think not more than 17 million. 4 million in somalliland. 7 million in Somalia. 3 million in Ethiopia. And 2 million in Kenya. And one million in Jabuuti. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good guess but that's not it. I was wondering how the UN and other NGOs decided the number of Somalis that are at risk of famine or other natural catastrophes. Every Somali region in the Horn is affected by droughts among other things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
