Does anyone know anything about Ethiopia, other than the fact that they have some very good guys who can run 26 miles in just over 2 hours and 8 minutes!

NAIROBI, Kenya - An Ethiopian government spokesman says police have arrested 35 people suspected of attempting to overthrow the government.
Government spokesman Ermias Legesse says members of the group were arrested Friday with weapons, communications equipment, military uniforms and written plans.
He says the plotters called themselves the "May 15" group after controversial 2005 elections held on that date.
Ermias said Saturday the group was established by former opposition leader Berhanu Nega.
Berhanu was elected mayor of Addis Ababa in 2005 but arrested afterward with more than 100 other opposition politicians and tried for treason.
Berhanu and the others were freed by a pardon in 2007 and he is now assistant professor of economics at Bucknell University in Lewisberg, Pa.
