The owner of Astan Cable TV, Abdimanaan Yusuf, has officially released him after announcing in recent months that he was not affiliated with Hargeisa.
Abdiman, the owner of Astan Cable TV, has a court in Hargeisa and was last month sentenced to five years in prison and fined.
It has not yet been announced how difficult it will be to release Abdimanan Yusuf, but there are some reports that could benefit the president from pardoning Abdimanan Yusuf.
The so-called Somaliland administration has previously released journalists and critics for the last time and later released them in prisons in Somaliland.
