The stats probably only include Djibouti born immigrants and a large number of them are grouped as Somali-Canadians anyway.
Also Djiboutians are not recent immigrants to Canada. Most came in the late 80s/early 90s.
that's actually true. most somalis that go the french immersion route are djibouti niggas or dixon kids halfway to getting dhaqan celised. their parents arrived as teenagers along with my parents.
it mostly traces djibouti ancestry, though. like i said before the number is definitely higher than 2k, but to have it where AJ is saying it's at is crazy. that number does not take into account their children for instance.
and them having arrived shortly after the 70s makes this all the more strange. this would have been before the civil war in Somalia and i would assume most would have immigrated directly from djibouti. they would be accounted for wouldn't they?
i dunno fam. that shit isn't adding up. they'd have to all be concentrated there with no representation in any other city. they'd also have to have a lot of kids and most would have had to have arrived through unconventional means that wouldn't list them accurately.
it ain't adding up for me.
