The actual population figure in the region is unknown but a rough estimation provided by WHO estimates 210,000 persons in the whole region (WHO and UNICEF, 1999) of which a large majority (more than 65%) are livestock dependent pastoralists. The two dominant clans are the Gadabuursi and Issa who both have strong kinship and economic relationship with Djibouti and Region 5 of Ethiopia.
