In Guinea, a strike by tanker truck drivers has led to the closure of several gas stations in the capital, Conakry.

The drivers, who play a crucial role in the nation’s fuel distribution network, have parked their vehicles since Monday to protest poor living and working conditions.

Their action has already begun to disrupt fuel supplies, raising fears of shortages and economic slowdowns if the impasse continues.

Negotiations between the drivers’ union and government representatives are expected in the coming days to resolve the crisis.
