Somali diaspora
The Somali diaspora means Somalis who were born in Greater Somalia and moved to other places. The civil war in Somalia meant that many Somalis moved to Europe, North America, Southern Africa and Australia.  The UN estimated that in 2015, about 2 million people from Somalia were living outside of the country's borders, mostly in Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemen. Some people had lived in refugee camps in Kenya or Ethiopia  for many years. Many people have now settled in new countries, become citizens and had children. It is difficult to count how many people that is.
