In a decisive move to reclaim public spaces, the 7th district council in N’Djaména has initiated a sweeping operation to clear encroachments along Taïwan Avenue. The campaign, launched under the leadership of District Mayor Adoum Hassan Djimet, targets unregulated structures, street vendors blocking traffic, and roaming livestock that endanger road users.

This enforcement drive comes in response to mounting traffic congestion and accident rates linked to the chaotic occupation of public thoroughfares. The mayor emphasized the urgency of restoring order, citing preventable road fatalities as a direct consequence of such obstructions.

Speaking to residents, Mayor Djimet stressed collective responsibility: « The road must breathe. I urge every citizen in the 7th district to embrace change. Each day, lives are lost because our streets are clogged with illegal encroachments. »

Firm measures against repeat offenders

The operation signals zero tolerance for violators. The mayor warned that continued obstruction of public roads will result in strict penalties, including confiscation of goods and impoundment of stray animals. These actions aim to deter further violations while safeguarding pedestrian and vehicular safety.

By reclaiming the avenue, authorities seek to enhance urban mobility and restore dignity to the city’s infrastructure. The campaign reflects a broader commitment to disciplined public spaces across N’Djaména.
