Malawi faces a looming standstill as severe fuel shortages, driven by rising global oil prices and Middle East instability, paralyze daily life and commerce. In Lilongwe, drivers queue for hours—sometimes days—only to be turned away empty-handed. Transport companies warn that supply chains are buckling, threatening agricultural distribution during a critical season.

Driver Prince Mapemba captures the desperation: three days of hunting for fuel without a single trip completed. With agriculture representing over a third of Malawi’s economy, farmers cannot access fertilizer or move crops to market. The government, hobbled by mounting debt and limited foreign reserves, has announced plans to sell $30 million in gold reserves just to keep petrol flowing. Businesses fear worsening price pressures and empty shelves in the coming weeks unless urgent relief arrives.

USA went to war with Iran out of concern for Iranis (!!?) but how many other countries will suffer because of this concern?

Which “civilizied democracy” cares about Malawi? Shame on you warmongers!
