Ethiopia has been left reeling after apparently co-ordinated attacks last week went after top leaders in what officials said was an "attempted coup" in northern Amhara state. A few hours later in Addis Ababa, some 500 kilometres (310 miles) away, army chief Seare was shot dead by his bodyguard. Soldiers strained to hold back tears as speakers recounted the dead military leaders' long careers and battlefield triumphs. Delivering a eulogy for Seare, a military commander described him as a fearsome fighter who "knew how to win." The slain military leaders will be formally buried on Wednesday.
