Mali: Bamako breathes a sigh of relief as fuel crisis comes to an end
The Malian capital is finally seeing a marked improvement in the energy situation at the start of this week. After weeks of tension and supply difficulties, the air in Bamako seems lighter with the gradual disappearance of long queues at petrol stations.
The normalisation of fuel flows brings welcome relief to transporters and economic operators, whose activities had been severely disrupted.
Free access to points of sale and the return of smooth supplies mark a significant turning point in this crisis, which has weighed heavily on the national economy.
This improvement comes after a period of intense speculation and collective anxiety in the face of recurring shortages.
The urban landscape is visibly changing, with a gradual return to normal mobility and a significant reduction in pressure on various sectors of activity.
The reduction in operational pressure will enable businesses to resume their normal pace of production and distribution.
Households are also regaining a degree of peace of mind in their daily travel and organisation of activities.
This positive development demonstrates the effectiveness of the measures taken by the authorities, under the leadership of President Assimi Goïta, to resolve the energy crisis.
