As part of measures coordinated by the mayor of Abéché commune to reinforce public hygiene and food safety, the administration of the 1st arrondissement conducted an operation on Thursday to dismantle a clandestine slaughterhouse in the Farik Aguek neighbourhood.

Led by the assistant delegated administrator, Hissein Hassan Tabit, the intervention successfully halted illegal slaughtering activities carried out outside sanitary and regulatory standards. Several heads of livestock were found on the site during the operation.

Local authorities reminded that animal slaughter must take place only in approved facilities to ensure the wholesomeness of meat intended for consumption. They also announced that further inspection operations would continue to combat any practices that endanger public health.

Through this action, the commune of Abéché reaffirms its determination to enforce hygiene rules, protect consumers, and promote a healthy environment for all.
