All those people who assume Bari is to burnt for Nomadism, are mistaken. Bari has one of the largest grazing land in the nation. It's livestock heaven. In-fact it's quite well known in PL that each nomadic family minimum lifestock is 25 camels, 200 goats/sheeps, that is the 'poorest' nomadic family of 6 per household. The true average is 50 camels, 400 goats/sheep because the maximum is 100 camels, 600 goats/sheeps. We even know PL lows-medium-high nomadic livestock count.
For a population that is essentially only 20% urbanized, 70% nomadic, 10% fishery. Our total livestock count is massive. If we assume 'Garissa' as census template which is close to 1 million for 45,000 SQ KM. Majerten is 150,000 SQ KM. Well that means PL is 3.5 times the size of Garissa land-mass and hence over-all population. So Majerten population in PL proper isn't less then 3.5 million no matter what way u want to look at it and of that only 1 million is settled into villages/coastal/towns while 2.5 million are nomadic.
So from Somalia 6 or so million Nomads, you will need to accept Majerten gets it's 2.5 million assigned. From the Urban pool we want our 1 million on the table. Or else u will look silly in front of the world. Infact if we measure 'pure' nomadic grazing land and not work of sharing on the total national land mass, Our nomadic ratio increases from 2.5 million because half of Somalia isn't even 'grazeable' only half of it is. So if we adjust majerten pastures against a total area sq of 300,000 SQ KM pasture land, Majerten is 150000 SQ KM, essentially 50% of the 'true nomadic' pool and should get 3 million and not 2.5 million.
But I will cede for Garissa 'template' population estimate to be applied to PL untill the census happens on water wells, dams, pasture land size and livestock population is extrapolated and nomadic ratio applied. I know the minimal livestsock population for Majerten is 25 camels, 200 goats/sheep. That is the lowest per household baseline. 2.5 million divide 6 per household works out to be 416k households x 25 camels = 1 million camels. 416k x 200 goats/sheeps = 8.3 million.
That is the lowest estimate and from poorest nomadic family. The true average is medium between largest herd household and lowest herd household. The largest number of livestock Majerten can have is 416k x 100 camels= 4 million camels. 416k x 600 goats/sheeps= 25 million. They're is also 'cattles' but I don't know what the 'rate' is for that. The true marginal average is somewhere in between 416k x 50 camels = 2 million. 416k x 400 goats/sheep = 16 million sheeps.
A Total livestock count of 18 million for camels/sheeps/goats and another 'percentage' for 'cattle' is needed, as I am not aware of cattle since it's not in my family, maybe someone who is cattle herder in PL can answer about the 'rate' of cattle ownership in the region.
PL will not stand down untill the following statistics are accepted
1 Million urbanites
2.5-3 million nomadic. Depending on Garissa template or land adjustment ratios applied to pasture lands in Somalia total area sq which Majerten will eat a large chunk away at.
18 million livestock population of Somalia. 25% of Somalia livestock must be majerten owned, 25% of parliament, 25% of everything in the nation, except the economy where it's 85% dominated by Majerten which is a large chunk considering our population ratio to the nation is only 25%.
If Somalia is 15 million for 637000 SQ land, Majerten is 4 million for owning 150,000 SQ KM of that land, giving them a 25% ratio. If we include harti it's around 30% as they bring in 70000 SQ KM for dhulbahante/warsangeli which is 10% of Somalia population pool which is 1.5 million. 1 million is dhulbahante. 500k is Warsangeli
