So this is out of curiosity..where is the biggest somali population outside of.......

[MR ORGILAQE]

The UK has the largest number of somalis in Europe (I saw a figure of 20 000 somalis in london).

 

Correction i think i read the newspaper that published that figure but the figure related to one borough of London Ealing alone.The overall figure of somalis living in the UK varies between 200 000 to 250 000.

The last figure I saw for the number of Somalis in London was 70,000. But that was in 2003 and you can never be sure about statistics.

[MR ORGILAQE]

the figure i quoted comes from the Refugee council

^ Yeah, I guess the overall 200,000 - 250,000 figure sounds about right. I was talking about previous London estimates myself.

Actually, I read a dissertation about somalis in canada, and if I recall well, there were less than 70 000 somalis in canada.
