In an interview with an IranPress reporter in Conakry, locals attributed the fuel crisis to an inefficient distribution system. Faya Milimono expressed concern, stating that Guinea is currently facing a serious fuel crisis. He noted that previously, the private sector managed fuel imports effectively, preventing such shortages.
Ibrahima Mbemba, a teacher residing in Conakry, described the situation as perilous and indicative of a collapsing state. He highlighted various issues plaguing the country, including scandals, embezzlement, kidnapping, insecurity, and now the added burden of a fuel crisis.
In response to the situation, the Guinean government has blamed adverse weather conditions for delays in fuel deliveries. They reported that a fuel ship was unable to dock at the port at the beginning of the new year.
