What do we know about the attacks?
Gen Seare was killed on Saturday evening at his residence along with another general, Gezai Abera, by the bodyguard who is now in custody, the prime minister's press office says. The government says it has reason to think the attack was linked to the assassination of the governor of Amhara a few hours earlier in the region's capital, Bahir Dar. Mr Ambachew was killed at a meeting in his office along with his senior adviser, Ezez Wasie, while the region's attorney general was wounded. Lake Ayalew has now been appointed as the region's acting governor. The prime minister's office accused Amhara's regional security chief, Brig-Gen Asaminew Tsige, of plotting the coup attempt. It is unclear whether he has been arrested. Many of those involved in the coup attempt are under arrest and operations are in progress to detain others, the PM's press office said. "The coup attempt in Amhara regional state is against the constitution and is intended to scupper the hard-won peace of the region," it added. "This illegal attempt should be condemned by all Ethiopians and the federal government has full capacity to overpower this armed group."
