Somalis have around the same pop. As oromo and amhara. We just need centralised power to make use of our land and people.
man said same population? somalia has a population of 9 million with Somaliland 17 million.
Oromo are indigenous to Tanzania, Kenya, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan.
after I made some re search the Oromo of the Gedo region alone number 100k, and if you want to include Garre make up 90 percent of the population.
the Oromo Waata are the one of the largest peoples in the region between kifili, and lungs lungs and were heavily assimilated into the Dahalo group and probably number around 100k themselves.
the Wardey who were entirely assimilated into the Ogaden, and Dir number 600 thousand in Kenya alone and are still not counted as Oromo, there number goes to the somali population.
the Gabra who are today being assimilated into the reendille, and somali groups number over 400 thousand themselves. and mark my words in 80 years they will turn out just like Garre and become Somali.
Are you serious?
Isn't this obvious they have higher population density as are Amhara. I'm talking about the population as a whole.
Look at Amhara who are a peasant society and small isolated in the mountains with 35 million. Oromo are more spread out but still have about the same population. Somalis are even more spread out in an arid Penisular but the fertile south gives us a boost.
Somalia has a population of 18 million according to estimates which are likely undercounting.
Djibouti has 500,000 Somali.
NFD is 3 million.
Galbeed is 11 million.

this being complete BS showing Somali taking up to Awash which when I went they were refugees there.
the Oromo own all the land in Kenya that the somali today claim (Garre, Orma, Sakuya, Wardey, and Waata).
large oromo clans such as the Garre have been assimilated into the Somali ethnic group which is a esbahys of Madows, Hebrews, Indians, Arabs, and cushites the only 2 original Hamitic tribes within the 'Somali' being Dir which a large percentage (Jaarso, Akisho, Hume, Gurgura, and Gurra are oromo with some oromo elements in the Issa (Reer Galan the largest Issa sub clan) and reer roobleh the eastern samaroon. And Hawiya which according to oromo elders was the eldest son of Babille, and to this day is still regarded as the son of Babille In oromo clan system, and culture.
so out of the 25 million somalis in Kenya X Somalia x Djibouti X Somaliland 5 million would be pure oromos if your not counting Babille (Hawiya) and if you are around 10 million would be oromo.
the Oromo in Ethiopia alone number roughly 45 million because were talking about a group which lives as far as the Eritrean border were the Azebo, and Raaya oromo reside who were heavily assimilated by the Tigray and still have a large presence in these areas. the Maaca oromo themselves number 8 million the population of Somalia as a whole in 2014.
the Oromo heavily outnumber somalis 4 to 1 even though the Somali people have assimilated lots of oromo clans into them. I dont know how you can claim oromo and somali have same population when we reer galan make up most of the Issa.
