South Sudan runs out of fuel

Issued on:

In South Sudan, gas stations across the country are running out of fuel. Imports have slowed down because roads to east Africa are either blocked or frequently attacked. On top of this, the fuel import business has become difficult with inflation at about 800 percent. As a result, many fuel traders have simply given up importing.

Now businesses are also beginning to be affected across South Sudan because goods cannot be transported.
