Less than 20% of Somalia's population leaves North of Galgacayo. Don't mind the weird statistics thrown around by SNET teenagers
The only major settlements North of Galgacayo are Hargaisa and Bosaaso; and there is no way they constitute 40% of the Somali population.Less than 20% of Somalia's population leaves North of Galgacayo. Don't mind the weird statistics thrown around by SNET teenagers
40% of the Somali population live north of Gaalkacyo.
I actually support Roving. I would say about 20% is about right.Less than 20% of Somalia's population leaves North of Galgacayo. Don't mind the weird statistics thrown around by SNET teenagers
40% of the Somali population live north of Gaalkacyo.
Marka, Brava, Jowhar, Balcad, Afgoi, not to mention the dozens of medium sized settlements that are spread out from Galgacayo till the Kenyan borders. A quick peruse on Google Earth will show that even the smallest regions in the South as having bigger population density than the much touted and advertised places of Puntland and Somaliland. Seriously, even 20% is quite generous. No way Isaaq and Majerteen are 40% of the Somali populationYou guys are off your head, so where does the remaining 80% live? in Mogadishu,Beledweyn,Baydhabo and Kismayo?
I have consideered the available population estimates and it doesn't add up. The only logical conclusion would be that the total population of 10mil is underestimated.Jumze if the population of Somaliland is 3.5 million then there`s no way the population of South Mudug/Galgaduud,Hiraan,Jubboyinka,Bay,Bakool,Shabellada Hoose, and Gedo is anything less than that. The south is very densely populated, I don`t think Somaliland is more populated than all these regions combined. I mean in Puntland you have about 5-6 major towns with a decent population, and in Somaliland you have about the same number of decent populated cities, give or take.
I don`t think the overall population of Somalia+Somaliland is 10 million, I would say it`s more than that.

Considering that Isaaq is the majority in Somaliland, the, in this case objective and unbiased, CIA estimates that Isaaq represents 22% of the 10mil. That is without the other populations of Somaliland i.e. Gudabiirsi, Dhulbhante, Wasangeli, refugees from the south, Gabooye & Fiqishini as well as others. If we add up the Dir (gudabiirsi & Ciise) and Isaaq, as categorised by CIA map, they alone represent 29% of the total population without adding the Dhulbahante, Warsangeli, Refugees, Gabooye, Fiqishini, others as well as all the population of Puntland.Marka, Brava, Jowhar, Balcad, Afgoi, not to mention the dozens of medium sized settlements that are spread out from Galgacayo till the Kenyan borders.
