Duriiyaada was not 60% of British Somaliland but 65.6% .

[Siciid85]

According to A General Survey of the Somaliland Protectorate: 1944 - 1950 by John A. Hunt, prepared as the final report on An Economic Survey and Reconnaissance of the British Somaliland Protectorate 1944-1950.


Isaaq = 65.6%

Harti/Darood = 18.8%

Isa = 8.6%

Gadabursi = 7.0%

[The_Emperior5]

And that was in 1944 more then nus qarni ba ka so wareegey

[Siciid85]

True. Who knows now Isaaq is properly 70% or so.

[AbuDujanah]

This population estimate was based on the amount of blood money that the clans used to give eachother, it was never an accurate method of calculating a population. It is now nothing more than a historical archive.

[Siciid85]

AbuDujanah actually it was the number of Dia paying lineages ( sub clans). The only thing that changed is the Isa Madoobe have mostly moved westwards to Djibouti. So Gadabursi is no longer the smallest group.


Who is more in present day Hartis of Somaliland or Gadabursi. Is debateable. Since it seems Gadabursi numbers have doubled more then expected.

[djibsomali]

stupid qaldaan!!
wallahi the name suit them well!!!!


The sensus according to the last election!!

500 000 voted!

100 000 were samarone
50 000 were harti

50 000 were others and those settled in hargeisa (who are none issak)

300 000 are issak

now in elementary school it can be worked out 20% of somaliland are samarone

[Siciid85]

djibsomali. What has this got to do with Qaldan. The survery was done by the British adminstration in Somaliland Protectorate showing each group's population and the percentage they make up of the former British Somaliland.



Besides election votes can't not be based on the actual overall population.

By all accounts, the Isaaq were considered the "friendly" clan and for colonial purposes, no one can take the colonial census at face value. During the Mau Mau struggle in Kenya which was mostly composed of Kikuyu, the British were notorious for trying to position Luos as the majority tribe and after independence it became known Luo are not even 2/3 of Kikuyu.

[Rooble90]

I Personally Think That Gadabuursi Is Larger Than Dhulbahante &Warsangeli in Somaliland, and not that smaller than isaaqs

Cause if you look at the population in sool region it's about 150 to 160,000

While Awdals population is Over 400,000...

.....Gadabursi make up alot More in Population in Somaliland

More Like

Isaaq: 53%

Gadabursi: 22%

Harti 15%

Other : 10%

[Siciid85]

That is still not a excuse. Do you even know what this percentage is based on? the original population survey of each clan in 1944 of British Somaliland.

Isaaq = 420,000 = 65.6%

Harti Darood = 120,000 = 18.8%

Gadabursi = 45,000 = 7.0%

Isa = 55,000 = 8.6%


Total Population of former British Somaliland = 640,000


So stop getting worked over nothing kids. The survey was talking about the facts back in the days. Things might have changed now of course with the Isa westward immigrations to Djibouti.

[Rooble90]

^^ dude that was like 80years ago lol

Today Isaaq pop is like 2million Ethiopia included

and samaroon is like 800,000 Ethiopia included

[Siciid85]

Well obvisiouly we are talking about the past in this topic not present. Since we don't have any census of the present. There was a population census taken in Somalia somewhere in 1970's and it mentions Siad bare wasn't impressed with the outcome hence hiding it.




Isaaqs in Somaliland are about 2m - 2.5m.

Isaaqs in Ethiopia - 400,000 - 600,000.

[djibsomali]

samarone in somaliland 1 million and so
samarone in ethiopia 2 million and so

[The_Emperior5]

in 1940 we were 65.6% that was expected really runti i think around now they are about 75% since many Ethnic isaaqs migrated from Ethiopia after 1991.

Djibsomali last elections only around 5000 hartis voted not 50.000 ur crazy ,, badhan voted 1000 and so and laascanood 3000 people voted , and 1000 people in the small villages of sool adhcaideye yagoori and so.. caynabo district oog were 30.000 and thats hy and hj.

[hargaysaay]

those who migrated to etjopia 1988 ayuun baa soo noqday 1991
