Guadeloupe: Protesters cause significant traffic disruptions in La Boucan, Sainte-Rose, early April 9
Protesters cause significant traffic disruptions in La Boucan, Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, early April 9. Avoid area.
Protesters have blocked traffic around La Boucan's roundabout on Route Nationale 2 (RN-2) in Sainte-Rose early April 9. All exits to the roundabout have been blocked with burning debris. While the demonstrators' demands remain unclear, the action could be linked to recent farmers' protests. Police have deployed to the area.
Protesters may block more routes across Guadeloupe in the coming days. Disruptions to traffic and business operations are likely during protests. Clashes are possible if security forces try to disperse protesters.
Avoid protests as a precaution. Plan on transit disruptions and seek alternative routes to circumvent the impacted area. Do not attempt to pass through protestor-erected roadblocks. Wait for the police to dismantle them before proceeding. Comply with directives given by authorities.
