For several days, the inhabitants of Bangui have been facing a hydrocarbon supply crisis that is weakening the local economy. In front of the few service stations still in operation, queues stretch for several tens of meters, testifying to the scale of the logistical blockage. This crucial lack of fuel directly impacts urban mobility, making citizens' travel increasingly laborious. Commercial activities, dependent on the fluidity of transport, are experiencing a marked slowdown, while the provision of essential public services is also hampered by this tense situation. What makes this crisis particularly worrying for the people of Bangui is the disconnect between the reality on the ground and recent pricing measures: despite an upward revision of pump prices, the product remains largely unavailable to consumers. As queues multiply and uncertainty hangs over the duration of this shortage, the population is expressing deep concern about the continuity of their daily activities. For the moment, the authorities have not yet communicated any clear measures to durably resolve this supply deficit, leaving the residents of the capital in expectation of a return to normal.
