This question is asked a lot but no one ever answers seriously without either extreme nationalism or extreme self hate. Emotions aside how many Somalis currently exist on this earth
 
Emotionally: TOO FUCKING MANY

Emotions aside, around 26M on the conservative end and around 33M on the higher end.
 
For now, 35-40 million for all ethnic Somalis across somaliweyn and the diaspora but we will grow to over 100+ million in the next 50 years. Reminder that ethnic Somalis will be 50% of Kenyas population alone, and Somalis in the Ogaden have the highest fertility rates in all of Ethiopia. We will be a force to be reckoned with if we get our shit together. Long term we are the biggest threat to Kenya and Ethiopia that's why they've been trying so hard to fragmentate our people. I believe we will win in the end though.

Reer Galbeed have a 40% higher birth rate than Amharas and Tigrayans. They have a higher birth rate than those in Somalia, Djibouti and NFD
 
i think we have like 30 mil across diaspora and all ethnic somali lands. Inshallah we are blessed with many children. This is the only time i approve of polygamy so that a man can have 40 children x 30 million and inshallah we will have 1 billion plus.

I don't think there's any Somali that self hates being Somali. It's just not all Somalis identify as Somalians. People equate ethnicity and nationality.

To answer you question, there's roughly around 30- 40 million Somalis world wide. It includes the diaspora as well.

I get it, it's about your ictiraaf, but not sure how it's relevant to the question as OP is asking about Somalis everywhere, not just Somalia.
It actually isn't about that. The OP said there's Somalis that have self hate. Which is false. I did answer the OP question original question also. Ciao
 
Around the 30 million mark. If we say around 16mill in Somalia(including SL), there is no way NFD, Galbeed, Djbouti and the diaspora community do not number at least 14 million. Galbeed alone is around 9million.

15 million worldwide. Any other figure larger than that is a lie made up by UN and NGO staff who want more western money for Nairobi villas.

We won’t be 50% of Kenyans population, thats just wishful. Instead, somalis will be around 10 million give or take and Kenyas overall population will likely be in the range of 80-90. Our fertility will decrease as somalis get richer and more women get educated. Its unlikely somalis will sustain the large fertility. For now somali fertility is 6+ children per woman, I think this will cut down in half during the next 25 years.
