Leelkase will outnumber HG in mudug soon. People underestimate their numbers.

Hg need to invest more and put money in their mudug deegaans their urban population has Mainly left and migrated south to xamar and lower shabelle majeerteen and leelkase stayed and the demographics seem to shifting in their direction slowly reer bicidyahan has been flooding into gaalkacyo since the 2000s and now are one of the largest groups in the city

Galmudug side of glk it’s really building up the last few years many people don’t know but this is a top 5 city in somalia population wise

[NGM]

Basically Leelkase have both the largest and second largest towns in Mudug on lock, so would it be wrong to estimate their population to be the largest.

Mudug niggas the livewire even the MX ones hahahaha but they move La Cosa Nostra too. The Gedo MXs are more smooth ngl lmao

Nah tbh majeerteen is probably the largest they have the most settlements plus the majeerteen from doolo move to mudug the shift is occurring in the sacad population which have been migrating to xamar for the last 30 years

Yes Ethiopian Rer bicidyahan and Rer Maxamuud as well as Rer khalaf basically created Buursalah in Goldogob district and made huge influx into Gaalkacyo town as well as creating a couple other smaller settlements in Gaalkacyo districts, this shifted the population balance in favour of MJ.

What about Awrtable, don't they have settlements south of their main town Burtinle ?

MJ as a whole is becoming too much for everyone in both Mudug and Doolo, 30 years ago OG and MX dominated Doolo region undisputed, but after 91 slow and steady Cumar Maxamuud and Bicidyahaan have been expanding, decades ago people would laugh at the thought of Reer Khalaf and Mahad setting up shop in Wardheer, nobody's laughing now. It's why Makaahil made that mutual defence pact with Sacad, the region is going to get heated soon.

No tbh today burtinle is dominated by different Cumar maxamuud subclans especially reer mahad and reer Adan awrtable is outnumbered today in their own deegaan they don’t have a large population I doubt there even 70k today even leelkase has village in burtinle called faratooyo right before you enter the city unfortunately the demographics are not in awrtables favour it’s like what happened to dishishle in bosaso

the sacad makahil thing is I think sacad want to settle in doolo as well and maybe get some political representation that’s why there building ties with Ogaden marehan is huge in doollo I think galaadi district is majority marehaan they live in wardheer to there grazing land is deep

You’re forgetting Dhulbahante I think. Plus most of MXs moved from Mudug to Xamar or the Jubboyinka

[barbarossa]

Kuwa ka guureen barren/conflict-prone Mudug, regardless of which town or tuulo they moved to, should thank their stars for so opportune an occasion.

I see it helps being majority of the town regardless of who else lives there since it aids in actually controlling the town, I know the population diversity of north Mudug is insane with all sort of clans, but MJ control the towns thats what matters, what of that town with the funny name Buryaqab ? who lives there now and who were the original inhabitants 30 years ago.

Bursalah, Bacadweyn, Buryaqab and Goldogob are easily bigger than Gelinsoor, Hobyo, Wisil and Harardheer, in this I agree, north Mudug has easily 3x the population of south mudug despite being smaller in area, this is why I always say area means nothing if it is not inhabited.
