Travelers are being urged to prepare for major disruptions as the National Truckers Association (ANTAC) and the National Front for the Rescue of the Countryside (FNRCM) have announced a nationwide protest set for April 6, coinciding with Easter Monday. This event aims to highlight growing concerns over safety on highways and various issues affecting the transport and agriculture sectors.
The blockade will affect major routes across the country, with truckers and farmers intending to bring traffic to a standstill. Leaders from both organizations have stated that the protest reflects their frustration over increasing violence and insecurity that have plagued their operations, making highway travel perilous for both drivers and cargo.
ANTAC has emphasized the need for immediate government action to improve security measures on highways, which have seen a rise in kidnappings and robberies in recent months. Similarly, FNRCM representatives have expressed their dissatisfaction with the current state of agricultural policies that they believe are failing to protect farmers’ interests.
Travelers are advised to plan alternative routes or postpone their trips if possible, as the impact of these blockades is expected to cause significant delays, particularly in rural areas and key logistics hubs. Authorities have been alerted and are preparing to manage the situation, but the timing of the protest during a national holiday may complicate efforts to minimize disruptions.
As the date approaches, both organizations are calling for public support, urging citizens to acknowledge the serious issues they face on a daily basis. With the protest drawing near, the situation remains dynamic as many await further developments from the truckers and farmers involved.
