East Africa has a population of ~300 million covering about 6 million km .
Somalis as an ethnic group form 5% of East Africa but hold 15% of the land mass.
Not one ethnic group comes up as near as that.

Brilliant rebuttal. Can't wait to hear more from you in near future.That doesn't add up.

We're not only nomad warriors in that region you know.That's because we were fierce nomad warriors , always looking for Oromos to kill , camels to steal and water wells , we were originally confined to northern Somalia but we expanded west and south in search for grazing land and water , we liberated this land from Oromos mostly and ever since we've been fighting ourselves over it and that caused more Somali clans to move more westward into Ethiopia and south to Kenya.
I was like you few years ago. After involving myself in some other African communities, I realise that we are nothing special. They have the same ambitions as we do. They have the same dreams as we do. They also have the same wishes as we do. Yet, they do not succeed even when they are in better position than we are.Imagine Somalis, with a powerful economy, Industry, Construction, Agriculture, Fishing, Mining, Oil & Gas, Banking, Services, Tourism, Telecomunication, Hospitality, Marketing, Infrastructure, with Solar Energy & suffienct water for our needs, Security and a powerful Military, Town planing and Highways, Housing, Health & Education for our people, Transportation, Buses, Trains, Metro, international standard airlines & Airports, Ferries, Marinas and Ports. We would be the Highest GDP in Africa and the Stongest Economically, Militarly & Diplomatically. Only if we are smarter.
And...? Which of my points does that disprove/challenge?Most of the Somali peninsula is arid and can't support large populations... So don't get too boastful.
Yes , i know and we still beat 'em , the thing is Northern Somalia is very arid , so it would make sense for us to move more westward into Ethiopias grasslands then say the Oromos already occupying those areas to come to Northern Somalia where there isnt very much water and green. Some of the Oromos we pushed back and some we assimilated , note that Somalis and Oromos use to be one people roughly 3000 yrs ago before we split , we both lived in Ethiopia but then the ancestors of the Somalis settled in North Somalia when it wasnt as dry as it is today.We're not only nomad warriors in that region you know.
About expansion, you're kidding right? Ever since Barre regime was demolished, Kenyans and Ethiopians have started moving into and living in Somali cities/towns.
Don't think I will ever take internet seriously in the future, but good luck with the waiting tho.Brilliant rebuttal. Can't wait to hear more from you in near future.That doesn't add up.
