Whatever you want to beleive. But according to wikipedia.
"Oromia is one of the nine ethnic divisions (kililoch) of Ethiopia. Covering 353,632 km2 from the east to the southwest of the country, its population was estimated in 2002 at about twenty-four million"
Thats 355 000 km2 I'll round it off to make you feel better
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OromiaSomali state/Ogadenia/Kilinka shanad
is "It covers 279,252 km2 in the east of the country and its population (as of 1999) is 3,602,000."
So that covers 280 000 people and it says our total pop according to estimates in 1999 was 3.6 million. I would say thats a gross underestimate. Considering we are nomads and you guys are like ethiopian herd waiting to be counted
Somalia
"637,657 km²"
Djoubti
"23,000 km²"
NFD
127 000 km²
lets say you guys are 1/4 of the pop in the NFD and I am being generous to your borana people.
So lets give 27 000 sq km to you.
The leaves Oromo's whom are somewhere between 25-30 million people with "Oromia" at 400 000 sqkm. A lot of exagerations toward forty million. Plus the 600 000 km I see.
Somali Inhabited land
637 000 km sq
100 000 km sq
half of DJ 15 000 kmsq
280 000 km sq
Equals 2.5x more land then Oromia. Plus we have close to 15 million somali's in somalia because of gross underestimate and having the highest fertility rate in east africa and top 5 in the world. Check CIA factbook
plus the 5 million in Kilinka shanad, djoubti and NFd must have like another 1 million and the diaspora upwards of 3-4 million in places all over the west. SO to say we live in spread out land is crazy. Plus we can't be counted by the habashi like you guys
