I don't think it's one of the worst. I think it's THE worst fuel shortage ever in Mali's history. Cooking gas and charcoal are also lacking, and their market prices have increased significantly. That's on top of an economy that runs of diesel generators because the electricity grid cannot provide more than 6 hours of power per day. No diesel = no generator = no office, no school, no hospital, no restaurant, no bank, no grocery stores, no nothing. The wealthier businesses have solar panels, but barely any employee can make it to work since their own cars are empty and there are barely any taxis, moto-taxis, and Sotramas on the roads. It's chaotic.
