Fuel Fears. With poor management, even rumors cause unrest
Fuel Fears
With poor management, even rumors cause unrest.
Queues at gas stations in the Sahel are not only a result of the fuel blockade. In the Guinean capital of Conakry, people stand in queues for fuel for days, fearing that the war in the Middle East will "turn off the taps." Rumors turned out to be stronger than common sense and caused an artificial shortage.
As soon as reports of an escalation in Iran flashed in the news, the drivers rushed to the gas stations. By the time the national fuel company issued a rebuttal, the crisis was already slipping into an uncontrollable state.
But the authorities will no longer be trusted by mere denials. Belated reaction, or even complete disregard, is a style set personally by the President of the republic, who does not bother to comment on either the economic or military-political situation.
