To put things in perspective, look at the following Woredas population figures and you will observe that land does not equal numbers.
You argued that Galadi has a larger population than Awbarre. The official figures contradict your assertion. The entire Wardheer Zone has a population of 338, 596 people whilst Awbarre Woreda alone has a population of 365,998 people yet you want to compare Awbarre Woreda with Galadi Woreda. Galadi Woreda has a total population of 108, 225. Even the Gurre Woredas in Afdheer Zone have a larger population than Galadi Woreda as a whole bro.
The Ciise still have a large presence in Ethiopia, Djibouti is their main metropole but Shinile is their main deegan and Dire Dawa is their second metropole that their share control of with the bilingual Gurgura Dir. The city proper has a population of 600,000 and despite its cosmopolitan nature the Ciise still exceed the 100,000 mark there. Shinle Zone has a population exceeding 400, 000 as you can see on the link I have provided. Hence, Ciise are by no means restricted to Djibouti as you assume bro.
Xamud, Dir are not a clan in the strict sense of the word. Some have acquired an independent status such as the Isaaq. Some have dual identities like the Gurgura and Quranyow Maxamed. However, if we are to count all clans that are Dir by tradition, there is no debate as to their numerical strength. Some clans you have never come across or heard of such as the Garire, Gurre, Bajamal, Obo, Mandalug when combined number in the hundreds of thousands in K5 yet they do not figure in population estimations of the Dir clan that most people are familiar with. Even my own Surre clan that dominate Dolobay Woreda of Afdher Zone are not traditionally associated with K5.
