What are these 14 cities?Somaliland has three cities, puntland has 14.
Ok tbh Puntland has loads of IDPs so I guess that gives it a boost

800k Samarone what is this guy smoking. Isaaq are 3.5 mill including all our people from Sool/Sanaag and also in Awdal. Isaaq goes up to 4 mill once adding our population in Ethiopia & Djibouti.The population of Somaliland is ~3.66 million.
880,000 Gadabursi and 2.78 million Isaaq.
This is what you get if you use the 2014 PESS and the 2020 SLDHS Somaliland Health & Demographic Survey to make your projections.

The problem you have is we know how much land Isaaq inhabit. It’s ~88k sq km. For you to have a population of 4 million, your population density would have to be 60% higher than the average for Somalia. While there is evidence that Isaaq have a population density ~30% higher than Somalia’s average, there is no evidence of their population density being 60% higher than the nationwide average.
Given the low fertility I expect that population density to be rising faster in the rest of the country.
Awdal’s population in 2014 was 673,000 and 35% were nomadic. Awdal reminds me of Mandera County. It is urban, rural and nomadic all at once.
You don't have people in Awdal unless you're counting unseen Jinn or somthing800k Samarone what is this guy smoking. Isaaq are 3.5 mill including all our people from Sool/Sanaag and also in Awdal. Isaaq goes up to 4 mill once adding our population in Ethiopia & Djibouti.
Somaliland has three cities, puntland has 14.
The Gadabursi live amongst each other be it in Awdal or in Awbare(the most populated district) and Dembel districts, we are one and we have no infighting, everything is settled through our xeer laws, and the estimated population is 2 million.The problem you have is we know how much land Isaaq inhabit.

when a census is done, we'll truly see the growth of some clans and decline of others.Somalia max population 18 million. Somaliland being over 33% of country seems exaggerated. But all somali regions lie more heads more aid it seems

It’s easy to claim everything over the internet but reality on the ground is different
