🇮🇩Indonesia 👔President Joko Walks 2⃣ Km to Avoid Traffic

The country's traffic nightmares were aptly illustrated when President Joko Widodo had to walk more than 2km to attend a ceremony marking the 72nd anniversary of the Indonesian military's founding.

He and senior government officials were held up by gridlock as they approached the military parade in Cilegon, a port city about two-and-a-half hours drive from the capital Jakarta, the presidential palace said.

After a 30-minute wait, "the president then decided from inside the car that he would walk," his guard Ili Dasili said in a statement. National police chief Tito Karnavian, who was also stuck in the jam, joined the president. Video footage shows the president walking with a phalanx of security personnel while spectators yell and chant his name.
