In 1897, before the arrival of the Galti Mareexaan (Talxe, Faarax Ugaas, reer Axmed and Cali Dheere), they were around 70,000 reer Xassan in Jubbaland, 70,000 Ogaadeen and merely 2,600 Harti.
There were more Carabs (6,000) than Harti.

This was at a time when most Mareexaans lived in Nugaal (Present Sool and Nugaal). See:

Note: Oltre Giuba means Jubbaland (Gedo, Lower Jubba and Middle Jubba).
