An Ethiopian court has found twenty six people guilty of plotting to overthrow the country's government, whilst five others were acquitted

The coup plotters were arrested in April and were said to be linked to the opposition group Ginbot Seven.

The BBC's Damian Zane has the latest details and we hear from Dr Berhanu Nega, who is said to have also been part of the coup plot, but lives in the US.

BBC Focus on Africa tried to get a reaction from the Ethiopian government but to no avail.
