I know couple of Maalinguurs they never told me reer Cabdillen nahay? Reer Farah-Reer Cabdillahan aqaano allways brag about about being reer Cabdille.
Well I reckon somalia is about 10 million max and when you including djibouti, ogadenia and nfd it is probably around 15 million, so for all somali lands this is probably how it is:
1.Hawiye - 25%
2.Darood - 23%
3.Isaaq - 20%
4.D&M - 19%
5.Dir - 8%
6.Madhibaan, Bantu & cad cad - 5%
I only gave percentages and I made hawiye number 1 because although they have been in war for nearly 2 decades but there is no denying that they are large in numbers(even if they included minority clans into hawiye), therefore I would say that darood is 2nd with Isaaq 3rd - I know you guys put them as a low number but bear in mind that besides mogadishu the second most populated are in somalia is Hargeisa and the towns to the west all the way to borama, they also live in ogadenia and djibouti heavily. D&M are also large in numbers but they are also in war so their numbers are probably declining, as for the rest I would say it is quite fair.
