The West African nation Closes Educational Institutions and Higher Education Centers as Jihadist Restrictions Intensifies Petrol Shortage
Mali has suspended educational facilities and higher learning institutions countrywide due to a acute fuel scarcity resulting from a blockade on energy resources imposed by Islamist insurgents.
The Education Minister stated on state television that all education institutions would stay shut until November 9th, clarifying that the movement of employees and students had been impacted by the imposed limitations.
He asserted that the government officials were “making every effort” to alleviate the crisis so that educational activities could resume on 10 November.
For several weeks, Mali has been experiencing a fuel shortage, especially in the main city, after insurgents from an al-Qaeda affiliate imposed a restriction by attacking transport vehicles on primary roads.
Mali is without coastal access, so all energy resources are delivered by land routes from neighboring states such as its western neighbor and the neighboring nation.
Lengthy waits have been winding around petrol stations in Bamako in recent weeks, and the city's normally bustling streets have now apparently become deserted.
The military government had earlier this month assured citizens that it was only a temporary issue, but the crisis has continued.
Last week, the US Embassy in the capital stated that non-critical embassy personnel and their families would leave the country amid the worsening energy crisis and growing protection worries.
It noted that the petroleum supply issues had affected the power distribution and had the “capacity to affect” the overall security situation in unpredictable ways.
The West African nation is presently governed by a military junta under the leadership of the military leader, who took control in a coup in recently.
The junta had widespread approval when it took power, promising to deal with the long-running security crisis prompted by a autonomy movement in the northern territories by Tuareg communities, which was then hijacked by jihadist fighters.
The international UN troops and French forces had been sent in previously to combat the increasing militant activity.
Both have left since the junta took over, and the ruling council has contracted Russian mercenaries to combat the violence.
However, the militant uprising has endured and large parts of the northern and eastern zones of the country remain not under administrative command.
