Somalis executed in Ethiopia over acts of violence

The Ethiopian higher federal court in a close door session on Thursday sentenced to death five Somalis -- over charges they had on April 4 -- over acts of violence.

The Ethiopian government said that the sentence which should be ratified by the president of the democratic federal republic of Ethiopia Germa Georgis will be executed in open if the five men will be found guilty after a possible appeal for the verdict.

The five convicted Somalis are members in the same Somali organization.
