The Somali people are Africa's largest ethnic group. With a total population of about 25.8 million, most live in Somalia (17.6 million) and/or the unrecognized Republic of Somaliland (5.7 million). If we limit ourselves to just the Somali diaspora elsewhere in the Horn of Africa, that still means 7.3 million Somalis live in what is known as Greater Somalia, which includes: most of Djibouti, eastern Ethiopia, northeastern Kenya, and sometimes even Yemen's Socotra Archipelago.
This concept isn't exactly though, with some tracing the idea of a Greater Somalia back to the Dervish Movement of the early 20th century and briefly, during the Italian colonial period, it seemed Rome might actually unify all Somali lands.

If we limit ourselves to just the Somali diaspora elsewhere in the Horn of Africa, that still means 7.3 million Somalis live in what is known as Greater Somalia, which includes: most of Djibouti, eastern Ethiopia, northeastern Kenya, and sometimes even Yemen's Socotra Archipelago.
This concept isn't exactly though, with some tracing the idea of a Greater Somalia back to the Dervish Movement of the early 20th century and briefly, during the Italian colonial period, it seemed Rome might actually unify all Somali lands.
Following independence, however, it became intertwined with Somali nationalism, a movement which envisions unifying these area to form a single nation-state.
This ultimately led to Mogadishu backing Somali rebels in Ethiopia's former Ogaden region and Kenya's Northern Frontier District. What's more, in 1977, the newly established Somali Democratic Republic fought a war with Addis Ababa to make Greater Somalia a reality. Things didn't exactly work out for Mogadishu and this ultimately led to a decades-long civil war that tore apart Somalia.
Still, the concept of a Greater Somalia continue to be popular for many even today.

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is a Somali politician who has served as the president of Somalia since May 2022, having previously held the office from 2012 to 2017. He is the founder and current chairman of the Union for Peace and Development Party. He was indirectly elected as President of the Federal Republic of Somalia on 15 May 2022, defeating the incumbent president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. A civil and political rights activist, Hassan was previously a university professor and dean at SIMAD University, which he co-founded.
His first administration faced serious criticism for rampant corruption, media restrictions and abuse of power. In 2013, Hassan was named in Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. During 2014 he controversially welcomed the entry of Ethiopian National Defence Force troops into the African Union Mission to Somalia in the wake of the 2006 invasion. He was born in Jalalaqsi, an agricultural town situated in central Hiran in present-day Somalia, during the trusteeship period, and comes from a middle-class background. Hassan is married to Qamar Ali Omar and has seven children.
