Mali Suspends Educational Institutions and Universities as Islamist Militant Restrictions Worsens Petrol Crisis
Mali has temporarily halted educational facilities and universities throughout the country due to a critical fuel scarcity caused by a embargo on energy resources implemented by militant groups.
Minister of Education declared on state television that all learning centers would stay shut until the ninth of November, noting that the travel of employees and students had been disrupted by the restrictions.
He emphasized that the administration were “doing everything possible” to resolve the crisis so that educational activities could restart on the tenth of November.
For several weeks, the nation has been facing a fuel shortage, particularly in the administrative center, after armed groups from an jihadist network imposed a restriction by targeting transport vehicles on key routes.
The country is landlocked, so all energy resources are delivered by truck from adjacent nations such as its western neighbor and Ivory Coast.
Long queues have been snaking around gas pumps in the capital in the past few weeks, and the city's usually crowded streets have now apparently grown silent.
The ruling military council had previously reassured citizens that it was only a temporary issue, but the situation has endured.
Last week, the American diplomatic mission in Bamako stated that non-essential diplomatic staff and their dependents would leave the country amid the intensifying petrol scarcity and growing protection worries.
It said that the petroleum supply issues had impacted the power distribution and had the “ability to disturb” the general safety conditions in unforeseen manners.
Mali is currently ruled by a military junta led by General GoĂŻta, who took control in a coup in two years ago.
The military government had popular support when it assumed control, committing to deal with the protracted safety emergency prompted by a autonomy movement in the northern territories by the Tuareg population, which was then taken over by Islamist militants.
The international UN troops and France's military had been deployed in a decade ago to deal with the growing rebellion.
Both have withdrawn since the junta took over, and the current administration has contracted foreign fighters to combat the insecurity.
Nevertheless, the Islamist rebellion has persisted and large parts of the northern and eastern territories of the country remain beyond state authority.
