The Somaliland female journalist also expressed their disapproval of Mr. Huto, and underlined that he doesn’t know his job.

The Somaliland female journalist also mentioned the need to replace him with new leadership or threatened to create their own activist group.

Likewise, Journalist in Burao, have also called for Huto to step down or face the prospect of divided SOLJA, as they expressed their desire to have their own association.
