Half of these people never went to anywhere other then their home town. If we’re being completely realistic Mogadishu and Hargeisa are the only cities in Somalia that are internationally competitive. The others on the list are rural upstarts and long forgotten towns(the the cities in the south).here are my estimates
Mog 2mil(with the idps it could be give or take 500k.
Hargeisa 750k give or take 250k
Bossaso 300k this city also has a lot of recent idps and rural migrants so give or take 200k

mind you Mogadishu had a million inhabitants before any of these cities expect Hargeisa has a 100k. And most idps go to Mogadishu.
