On 19 June 2019 TimesLIVE reported that Addis Ababa planned to ban motorcycles in the city from July in a bid to curb muggings and robberies that local authorities linked to bike-mounted attackers.
City officials presented the movement ban on individually owned motorcycles as an unusual urban-security step after a crime spree in the capital.
Kept as urban-policy archive, the TimesLIVE report dates the mid-2019 Addis Ababa motorcycle-ban plan.
