It is not bigger than any of the cities listed ahead of it. I can assure you of that.
Hargaysa will be overtaken by Jigjiga in the next 5 years. Doolow in Gedo is larger than Wajaale.
ps. I fully expect Jigjiga to become a city more similar to Xamar in terms of size than to any other Somali city. Xamar and Jigjiga will be in a class of their own. I fully expect Jigjiga to become the second Somali city with a million inhabitants in the next 7 years. My Buraashadley cousins from Hargeele have all moved to Jigjiga. Crazy pull.
The only way Jigjiga will overtake Hargeisa is if Jigjiga becomes infested with Oromos and the migrate there.

number of buildings in each city:
Jigjiga will undoubtedly overtake both cities in the next few years.
number of buildings in each city:
| Hargaysa | 165,243 |
| Djibouti | 141,870 |
| Jigjiga | 134,356 |
Jigjiga will undoubtedly overtake both cities in the next few years.
GM and HS is empty(huge migrations to hamar and livestock count is low) and Hargeisa isn't what people assume but urban sprawl due to old govt planning and low density, each to his own tho. Either way GDP data is clear as day, livestock is the backbone of Somalia economy hence the real population count is not urban anyways. Like Somalis who Know Somalia will always check out the daaqsin holdings of clans(it's speaks of their strength) as noone whose weak or small can hold such real estate in Africa(wala xoogaya dee).
Real niggas ba jira who still use local intelligence and diaspora niggas who use spreadsheets with formulas that support their premise and has some stamp of an international organization.

How?
What methodology are you using? The number of buildings? How are you counting them?
I have never been to most of these magaalo-ku-sheeg settlements in the desert - but I doubt they have more population than Afgooye.
War Afgoye Anaba dhul ku haysto abti cause my ayeeyo encouraged it for reasons I won't go into here but hawiye waxaa lagu caaya 3 degmo ma buxin Karan in koonfurta hadi .5ka, rahanwayn, banadiri iyo dadka hada loo yaqan un armed majority left, as hawiye is called armed minority(beelaha yar ee hubaysan) lol by raw niggas niyahow
@Thegoodshepherd correct me if I'm wrong but it was the ai building detection tool from a while back that you used to count these right?
This thread was interesting to say the least. Really broke some people.
I highly doubt that, where will it get the population, Jigjiga is more comparable to Burco or Borama.
I was in kismayo January 2024 not a lot of people live there
@Thegoodshepherd is there a reason for Kismayo population decline relative to other cities?I was in kismayo January 2024 not a lot of people live there
There can be no debate. Google Open Buildings is infallible.
Number of buildings:
Jigjiga 134,356
Hargaysa 165,243
Burco 62,494
Jigjiga is more at the level of Hargaysa than Burco. Jigjiga is more than 2.5x the size of Burco. Garissa with 77,441 buildings and Wajir with 62,856 buildings are also larger than Burco.
I also encourage you to take a look at time-lapses of Jigjiga and other cities here: https://earthengine.google.com/time...4,latLng&t=0.82&ps=50&bt=19840101&et=20221231
