Mali Shuts Down Educational Institutions and Universities as Islamist Militant Restrictions Intensifies Fuel Shortage
The landlocked West African country has closed educational facilities and higher learning institutions throughout the country due to a severe fuel scarcity resulting from a blockade on fuel imports imposed by jihadist fighters.
Minister of Education declared on state television that all academic facilities would be inactive until the ninth of November, explaining that the transportation of personnel and students had been disrupted by the restrictions.
He stated that the authorities were “working tirelessly” to end the situation so that educational activities could continue on the tenth of November.
For weeks, the nation has been grappling with a energy deficit, especially in the capital Bamako, after insurgents from an al-Qaeda-linked organization initiated a restriction by attacking fuel trucks on major highways.
The country is without coastal access, so all energy resources are delivered by truck from neighboring states such as its western neighbor and Côte d'Ivoire.
Extended lines have been forming around fuel outlets in the capital in the past few weeks, and the city's usually crowded streets have now reportedly grown silent.
The junta-led administration had in recent days promised the public that it was only a passing concern, but the crisis has continued.
Last week, the US Embassy in Bamako announced that secondary diplomatic employees and their dependents would evacuate Mali amid the worsening petrol scarcity and escalating safety issues.
It explained that the fuel disruptions had impacted the power distribution and had the “potential to disrupt” the broader protection environment in unexpected forms.
The West African nation is now led by a army council under the leadership of General Goïta, who seized power in a military overthrow in recently.
The junta had widespread approval when it took power, vowing to address the ongoing instability prompted by a separatist rebellion in the north by the Tuareg population, which was then co-opted by jihadist fighters.
The UN peacekeeping mission and French forces had been stationed in 2013 to address the growing rebellion.
These forces have left since the junta took over, and the current administration has hired private military contractors to address the insecurity.
However, the militant uprising has endured and large parts of the northern and eastern zones of the state remain outside government control.
