Maybe you're too daft to have understood the post so I'll write it out for you. It says
"
ALL the existing estimates for current population are the result of projections from these estimates(2014 UNFPA) and result in large error margins. Among these estimates are the ones commissioned by DFID"
this includes what you posted, and what you considered
"..the most accurate measure of Somalia's population ever taken"
Your honesty slipped out in the above post. You made a correlation to the low domestic market access in puntland to not having a large concentration of people. This is what we've known all along. I won't dwell to much on this, but using your logic here, It's not a coincidence that this map of domestic market access correlates with Somalias pop density maps. Showing Isaaq, hawiye, and Rahanweyn regions as having a very high domestic market access(densely populated) with darood regions/settlements as having barely any concentration in domestic market access(low pop density). The similarities between the two maps is uncanny
