Deadly Fire Causes Controversies between Chinese Contractor and Ethiopian WorkersSeptember 6, 2017 - A fire accident that engulfed workers' dormitory at the construction site of Ethiopia’s largest stadium, Adey Abeba Stadium, claimed the lives of seven people so far while almost a dozen were burned severely, reports Addis Standard. Some of them were readying to sleep and others were preparing dinner when a gas cylinder exploded at about 8:00 PM local time. The victims believe this is a deliberate silence to protect the company's interest and its image. He survived unscathed because he "was outside the dormitory" he told Addis Standard. When asked if he was willing to show Addis Standard the scene of the accident, he said it was already "demolished and not safe [to visit]."
