Drivers in some urban areas of the Amhara region are currently grappling with a significant fuel scarcity alongside escalated prices within the illicit market, severely impeding their mobility, as indicated by several drivers interviewed by Addis Standard.
In Bahir Dar, the regional capital of Amhara, a driver portrayed the grim circumstances, stating, “Despite the early formation of lengthy queues by drivers in anticipation of diesel procurement each morning, the flow is frequently disrupted due to the dearth of fuel supplies. Nearly all fuel stations are non-operational.”
Another taxi operator in Bahir Dar highlighted that heavy truck drivers are compelled to endure overnight or even multi-day waits for refueling when limited gasoline is sporadically accessible
