Fight against Islamist militants in East Africa
Three British men have been imprisoned in Ethiopia following their
alleged attempt to establish an Islamic State in the East African country.
Mohamad Sharif and Mohamad Ahmed, who both previously lived in London,
were sentenced to six years and eight months in jail on Wednesday.
They stood accused of plotting attacks in tandem with the Oromo
Liberation Front (OLF), a group of separatists who oppose Ethiopia’s
government.
The court found both men guilty of receiving specialist military
training in neighboring Kenya.
A
third man, Mohammad Ali Andros, who is also thought to be a UK citizen, was
given a four and a half year sentence.
