Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has called on everybody to calm down as everything is under control. He also promised that the government will release details of the coup attempt soon. In Ethiopia in June 2018 there was an assassination attempt on PM Abiy in Addis Ababa during his supporters’ rally. A few months later some armed soldiers have also tried to enter his palace, which some labeled it as, a military coup attempt. The assassinated General Seare was appointed as chief of Staff of the Ethiopian Army by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed about a year ago.
