I am suspicious that even if you combine all somalis they are still less then Darod and when u go overseas and see Somali demogaphics darod are always like 70% and 30% is like all other somali tribes, I always sat there wondering why is it darod are always numerous. Look at hawiye conferences, it's empty when they hold conferences at a sub-clan level and only gets big when it's hawiye conference and it's only the same size of puntland conference not darod conferences.
I really think hawiye and southern darods are similar size and their land size says it all how many nomad each has, plus hawiye is mostly settled clans now except the central parts, so you should be able to google earth count him and his farms and homes and cities. We can start counting Darod southerner cities and town and settlements but account for the land size to ensure their reer miyi are accounted for using a mathamatical formula based on water wells, dividing their livestock population per a national formula that is applied to all nomadic population irrespective of clan.
The land size of Jubaland is enough to tell they can put a good challenge to hawiye in who owns the south and that's just one branch of darod. We don't need to include Puntland,Ogadeniya or NFD at all just the southern darod vs hawiye. That's why no-one can ever conquer the south, the clans are very similar in size that's why. That's why noone can conquer the north between dhulbahante and isaaq, their similar sized clans but look how isaaq swallowed up samaroon they aint similar in size that's why, he stands no chance against dhulbahante though if united.
