The municipal authorities of N’Djamena’s 7th arrondissement have initiated a sweeping public road clearance operation along Taïwan Avenue this past Monday. The campaign aims to reclaim illegally occupied spaces to enhance traffic flow, bolster road safety, and elevate urban living standards in this bustling part of the capital.
Under the direct supervision of the arrondissement’s mayor, the operation is specifically targeting unauthorized street vendors, makeshift stalls encroaching on the roadway, and stray animals disrupting traffic patterns.
The mayor emphasized the critical need for this intervention, citing the alarming rise in traffic congestion and fatal accidents directly linked to the chaotic occupation of public thoroughfares. « Roads must breathe freely, » he stated during a community briefing. « I urge every resident of the 7th arrondissement to embrace this shift. Daily, preventable tragedies unfold because reckless obstructions turn streets into death traps. »
« Those who persist in illegally occupying public spaces will face stern consequences, » he warned. « Vehicles obstructing traffic will be impounded, goods confiscated, and stray animals seized. This is not a negotiation—it is a firm commitment to public safety and order. »
