Somalia

According to The Economist, at independence Somalia was "in ethnic terms the most homogeneous country in sub-Saharan Africa". Despite also sharing a single language and religion, it is divided into more than 500 clans and sub-clans.

Somalis constitute the largest ethnic group in Somalia (85%).

As of July 2020, CIA's estimate of Somalia's population is 11,757,124 people.
