What would be an accurate estimation for the population of somalis in all somali regions combined or what would the population of Somalia be individually

I could agree with you but then we’d both be wrong

Somalia: 16 Million.
Somali region of Ethiopia: 9 Million.
Somali region of Kenya (NFD): around 5 Million.


The Total is 30 Million.

population statistics are numbers and dont care about their opinion
I'd say about 2.5 Million or less.

North America, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, MIDDLE EAST, UGANDA (Huge Somali population), South Africa and others. They're dispersed all over the globe but their numbers cannot possibly exceed 2.5 Million.

wikipedia says about the same
2.5 mil sounds small to me for some reason. Thought there would be much more up to 6
Adding this to the 30mil in greater Somalia the maximum is 33 mil huh

Those us are estimations, I might be wrong but the last time Somalia had an offical census was during Siad Barre's government.

The last time there was a proper census was a long time ago along with us having the second highest fertility rate in the world shouldn’t it be higher?

The population of Somalia was 14.5 Millions in 2014 according to census conducted by the UNFPA. That was 6 years ago and the annual population growth of Somalia is 2.8% according to the world bank. That means the total population growth over the past 6 years was 16.8%<>

14,500,000 + 16.8%: our current population stands at 16.9 Million.

Ethiopia's population is estimated to be 110M in 2020... In 2009 deeply biased census conducted by Ethiopia concluded that Somalis are 7% of the population, slightly larger than Tigrays. I would say they underreported our true numbers in Ethiopia, I say we're at least 8.5% of the population which comes around 9 Million.

In Kenya, the population is 53 Million.... According to their office for population statistics, Somalis are 6% of the population. Which is 5 Million.
 
A lot of families in somalia have 10 plus kids but i have heard the langaab 10-15million estimation forever. Do they teleport to an alternate earth?


:francis:

The population census is absolute rubbish. How was it possible for them to accurately get info?

I believe our pop is a lot higher than the 15m they are reporting. Back home every man has got 2/3 wives and an platoon of kids.

Heck look at Kenya who are worried about Somali population in Kenya


Somalis are set to be the biggest ethnic group in Kenya in the next 2 decades.
 
Somali population numbers are greatly exaggerated. I have been to a city where the internet claims to have over 1 million inhabitants. I have walked from one part of the city to the other in 2 hours. For weeks, I have observed the same faces and bumped into the same people, many of whom claimed to be related to me. I have also been to the miygi and I didn't see anyone else for days while walking with the camels and this was a major clan's territory. Where were they?

I immediately reject any NGO figures of refugee camps and of urban centres. They inflate the numbers for aid money or to make their clan bigger. It's totally fake news. Don't believe me? Look at Google Earth, which has proven that many cities are actually just xaafads and that 99% of the country is empty desert.

I mean we gotta be atleast 30 million worldwide provided some settlements may not be as big as they’re said to be

Even the south is empty. You should take a look at satellite images. There are not tens of millions of Somali nomads walking around. There are not many small towns in Somalia. I see alot of villages with 10 homes though. I saw a village many people have mentioned on here as if it was a major bustling town belonging to that subclan and who were proud to rep. Honest to G*d, it had like 10 shingads. I was shocked. I thought it was a mistake.

There’s plenty of large settlements all over the country plus many Somalis are nomads so move around from time to time. Even if you look at satellite images there are many decently sized towns/cities plus hargeisa+xamar is easily atleast 5 million alone
