Ethnic Somalis number around 15-17 million and are principally concentrated in Somalia (more than 9 million ), Ethiopia (4.6 million ), Yemen (a little under 1 million), northeastern Kenya (2,7 million), Djibouti (350,000), and an unknown but large number live in parts of the Middle East, North America and Europe.
