Demographics of Somalia

Okay kiddo! Demographics of Somalia means we are talking about the different types of people who live in Somalia.

Somalia is a country in Africa and there are about 15 million people who live there. A lot of people who live in Somalia are Somali, which means they come from Somalia or their parents or grandparents did.

There are also other groups of people who live in Somalia like Arabs, Indians, Europeans, and Bantu people. These different groups have their own languages and cultures which makes Somalia a very diverse place.

Somalia is also a very young country because a lot of the people who live there are under 25 years old. This means there are a lot of kids like you, who are growing up in Somalia.

Unfortunately, Somalia has had a lot of problems like famine, war, and natural disasters, so a lot of people have had to leave the country and go to other places for safety. This means that there are also a lot of Somali people who live in other countries around the world.

That's a little bit about the demographics of Somalia, kiddo!
