Addis Ababa, September 24, 2021 (FBC) – Addis Ababa Police prohibited starting fireworks during the upcoming Demera and Meskel festivals or in any other events happening in the city.
The capital police warned that illegally armed people may exploit the occasion “to check their weapons” and may as a result try to commit crimes.
Before taking permit from the police no individual or institution is allowed to set off fireworks during the Demera festival to be marked on September 26, 2021, in the afternoon.
The Addis Ababa police thus requested the cooperation of residents to enforce the ban.
