The Autonomous District of Greater Lomé plans to begin clearing installations occupying public roads on 2 November 2026. The operation, announced as lasting nearly three weeks, will target stalls, kiosks and garages to ease traffic, according to the Autonomous District of Greater Lomé.
The Autonomous District of Greater Lomé (DAGL) will launch an operation on 2 November 2026 to clear installations occupying public roads, with the operation expected to last nearly three weeks. According to 24heureinfo, the intervention aims to ease traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents caused by road congestion.
Teams will target stalls, kiosks and garages set up on paved or asphalt roads and their verges. Previous campaigns have not always prevented these installations from returning after the teams have left, raising questions about how the cleared spaces will be maintained.
The operation comes amid the management of public spaces in Lomé, where the Martin Luther King Movement is calling, among other things, for an end to sacrificial deposits, according to an announcement published on 14 October.
