Largest Cities in Somalia

There are three cities in Somalia with a population over 1 million: the capital, Mogadishu, is the largest with 2,425,000 citizens, Beledweyne with 1,947,000, and Baidoa with 1,400,000.

Baydhabo and Kismaayo are both bigger than Baladweyne. Baydhabo is the 2nd biggest city in the south after Mogadishu.

Yes that is accurate, those are largest cities in the South, they need to include Kismaayo and Galkacyo though.

there is no way beledweyne has 1.9 million poeple or baidoa 1.4 million

only 1 city in all of somalia has over 1 million and that is mogadishu.

Mogadisho
Hargeisa
Boosaaso
Then Kismaayo and Burco

That's the order.

Waa been, just look at a Somali city or town on google map there is no way they have such populations.

In order of size
1. Mogadishu ( 2 million +)
2. Hargeisa ( around 1 million )
The next 5 are similar in terms of size, some are more densely populated and some have larger area. bosaso, beledweyne , Burco, baydhabo and galkacyo as well. 200-400k in each city probably
