A Somali journalist who was serving a long jail term in Ethiopia was set free after the Somali government intervened his case. Journalist Mohamed Aweys Mudey who is nicknamed as the "King of the Central", contacted his family in Mogadishu informing them about his release.
"I filled the release form and I'm at the immigration department of Ethiopia waiting for the embassy officials.
