 Flights suspended to Ethiopian holy town of Lalibela as fighting expands Flights to the historic Ethiopian town of Lalibela ​were suspended on Thursday due to fighting nearby, seven sources said, as residents in the Tigray region to the north stocked up on food and ‌cash, fearing that renewed fighting could trigger another major war. Tigrayan forces seized three local airports and launched attacks in Afar and Amhara regions with allies there this week, in the most serious escalation since a devastating 2020-22 war against Ethiopian government troops. In its first public comments on the fighting, Ethiopia's army said on Thursday that it had foiled the attacks and killed, wounded or captured more than 500 enemy fighters.

 FRSC Advises Motorists To Use Alternative Route Amid Abuja–Kaduna Traffic Gridlock


The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised motorists travelling along the Abuja–Kaduna Highway to use the Kachia–Bwari alternative route due to heavy traffic congestion ahead of the Eid el-Kabir celebrations.


In a statement released in Kaduna, the agency explained that the gridlock was caused by increased holiday travel, ongoing road construction and recent rainfall, all of which have slowed movement on the highway.


Kaduna Sector Commander, Corps Commander Andrew Longkam, identified the Nasarawa Azara section between Katari and Jere as the worst affected area, with vehicles moving slowly and commuters experiencing long delays.


He also attributed the congestion to poor driving behaviour, including impatience and disregard for lane discipline among some motorists.


According to the FRSC, additional personnel have been deployed to the affected areas, while the corps is collaborating with the Nigerian Army and other stakeholders to improve traffic control.


Despite these efforts, traffic remains heavy, prompting the agency to urge motorists to cooperate with traffic officials and obey road safety regulations.


Drivers travelling from Kaduna to Abuja were advised to take the Kachia–Maraban Kubacha–Jere–Bwari–Dutse route, while those travelling from Abuja to Kaduna should follow the same route in reverse.


The FRSC further warned against dangerous overtaking and driving against traffic, stressing the importance of lane discipline and ensuring vehicles are roadworthy before embarking on trips.


Motorists were also encouraged to avoid night journeys where possible, obey speed limits and comply with all traffic regulations.


The corps reaffirmed its commitment to safer roads, improved traffic flow and reduced accidents during the festive season and beyond.
