Ethiopia fire kills 23 at prison 'holding Oromo protesters'
Addis Ababa - Arab Today
At least 23 inmates have died in a fire at an Ethiopian prison where anti-government protesters are reportedly being held, the government has said.
The BBC quoted a government statement Tuesday as saying 21 died of suffocation after a stampede while two others were killed as they tried to escape.
Some local media have disputed the account, citing unnamed witnesses who say prisoners were shot by the wardens.
There has been an unprecedented wave of protests in Ethiopia in recent months.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
