Sorry for the late reply I am not that familiar with the intricacies of Wikipedia edit section. The reason why I edited the figures from 250,000 and 500,000 to 25,000 and 50,000 is because upon reading the source these were the figures. There is no mention of the 250,000 500,000 figure I really don't no why its been written like that, you can see the real figure on page 8 of the source ''Between 25,000 and 50,000 slaves were absorbed into the Somali riverine areas from 1800 to 1890. During this period of expanded agricultural production in the Shabelle River valley, the more remote and forested Juba River valley remained largely uninhabited. In the 1840s, the first fugitive slaves from the Shabelle valley arrived and settled along the Juba River. By the early 1900s, an estimated 35,000 ex-slaves were living in communities in the Juba River valley, in many cases settling in villages according to their east African tribe'' yours truly Namjam Namjam691 (talk) 10:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
