I can't help but notice the diverse mix of people.

I don't know if there was a census but I was told lots of foreigners lived and worked in the capital city before the civil war.

But I think they mostly lived in their own segregated neighborhoods?

I heard in 1940, Italians were the biggest group in Xamar and that it was a mainly Christian city.

There was a huge Indian and Persian population in Somalia and they had representatives in parliament.

Most of them left after the Ogaden war when Barre turned to shit.

I remember reading an article about the Somali-Indian community that live in the UK now:
