This is a rant from the Intersyndicale de Centrafrique (ISYCA). In a press release, dated October 26, ISYCA denounces the government’s inaction in the face of the shortage of petroleum products. She says most gas stations across the country are closed. A situation which obliges, still according to ISYCA, consumers to refuel in neighboring countries such as Cameroon, Congo, DRC, Sudan and Chad.
In such a situation, the illicit sale of petroleum products develops. The prices, in particular of transport, go up and it is the citizens who drink, according to Louis-Marie Kogrengbo, coordinator of the Intersyndicale of Central Africa. Joined by RFI, he also highlights the increased risk of fire in individuals who store gasoline, for example.
ISYCA asks the authorities to resume negotiations on the subject ” as quickly as possible » before warning that « social peace depends on it “.
We do not know what the Ministry of Commerce is doing, which, in principle, should regulate these things.
