Those census were not accurate as neither Italy nor Britain had the means to carry out a territory wide census.
what about the 1975 census?
it doesnt conflict with the colonial estimates

I actually have to agree with Twisted Logic to some extent, although to a different tune:

Everything from Hiiraan and further south is likely 70% of the population today, and was probably 80% or more before the exodus to Bosaso over the last 5-10 years.

My guesses:

City [URBAN] populations - INCLUDING IDPs:

Xamar (excluding camps) - 1 million
Hargeisa - 350,000
Bosaso 170,000
Gaalkacyo - 110,000
Baladweyn - 100,000
Baydhabo - 100,000
Kismayo - 95,000
Burco - 90,000
Marka - 85,000
Borama - 80,000
Garowe - 70,000
Qardho - 55,000
Berbera - 40,000

Those are urban towns by the way. There's a good chance that some rural community like Wanlaweyn or Jamaame outnumbers a city like Gaalkacyo. :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

looool Let's not throw around rediculous figures just for the sake of it.

Just to pick on one of your many, many silly estimations, how can Hargeisa have a population of 350,000 when it is 7x the size of boosaaso (170,000 according to you) ?

Bilaa macnada inaga jooji :lol:

My guesses:

City [URBAN] populations - INCLUDING IDPs:

Xamar (excluding camps) - 2.5 million
Hargeisa - 1.3 million (thats better)
Bosaso 170,000
Gaalkacyo - 110,000
Baladweyn - 100,000
Baydhabo - 100,000
Kismayo - 95,000

Horto what are the largest cities in Bakool, Gedo, Jubbada dhexe & hoose as i've rarely heard of large cities (- kismaayo) in these supposedly highly populated regions.

WHAT EDITED TEXT, Gurey?

http://books.google.com/books?id=YfERAA ... on&f=false

^ go to page 492 there.

I don't believe that it took you this much effort to realize the tiny size of your clan in whole. :|

i am assuming that the monk is relying on UN estimates from the 90's..

in a away they are accurate, Hargiesa and Burco have fluctuated a couple of times,
hargiesa went from more than 100,000 in 88 to less than 10,000 people in 90 when everyone fled.
the same for burco..

there was another evacuation during the isaaq civil wars in 92-93 and 84-96 i saw a UN estimate for 1998 that had hargiesa at 70,000 people.. this is resonable becuase the re-settlement was continuing.

You should not forget that isaaq refugee camps like Harti -sheikh, rabasso and abukar where as big as several somali cities in the south.
Harti shiekh alone was 200,000 plus in 1991.

half the isaaq population where refugees across the border..

^ Population figures from 1890

Majerteen - 104,000
Habar Awal - 50,000

It all depends on how much you want to view HY and HJ that will increase your size. :lol:

Also - these figures account for all Somali-populated territories.

If you click the link it takes you STRAIGHT to the population page unless you are retarded.

Anyway, I could care less if Sheikh Isaaq was 5 years old and fertile as a valley, it didn't stop MJ baby production. 8-)
