Interesting, only 8.7 million people?

I thought there were much more, I guess most of the Somalians live outside of Somalia

One other thing, have you noticed that Somalians have a special smell?

There used to be more but about 10 million of them now live on the Highfields estate in Leicester.

Also.... If you are going to plagiarize me at least do it properly and add some notes to the pictures.

Yeah at least that many here in Columbus either in Wedgewood Apartments (west side) or over off of Agler Road. We have a huge transplanted Somali population (thanks Bill!)

You started all this country weeks? I remember one guy posting about countries often, I kind of missed it and tried to revive it

Given the opportunity Cupid would take credit for the Holocaust (which we all know never happened).

Give credit where credits due.

somalia is a libertarian dream
no gods
no masters
only bootstraps and guns
