If the nomads left puntland today, our economy would drop to 30% because our population power would only be left in settlements. They are very significant to Puntland, not so much the south but in puntland very signficant. I study the nomad population more then settlements because settlements only produce 30% of our economy, their langaab thats why.
If you add up all puntland cities today and their economic contribution including bosaso, galkayo,garowe, the whole lot. It would only be 30% because 70% is livestock and that means NOMAD POPULATION. you have to use your brain.
I accept PL is about 2.5 million in settlements but u need to accept that is only 30% of our population and we are already large just with 30% settled. Allahu akbar. But if u add our nomads then u need another 70%, your looking around 7 million for harti alone. Harti iyo absame ayaa isu dhow population markan firiye. While southerners we will look at their GDP, you will notice 70% is from agriculture so 70% is settled. the rest are in cities. So all they have is 3 million in the south niyahow thats it.
8 million ogaden. 7 million harti. Sade forget. Hawiye/Isaaq/Dir/Rahanwayn marki laysu geeyo they are less from what I saw.
