00:00The head of Mali's military junta, General Asemi Goita, spoke for the first time on Monday about the country's fuel crisis.
00:10Goita called upon the participation of Malians in helping support curb the fuel crisis.
00:16Mali has been experiencing fuel shortage from the blockade created by the jihadists.
00:21The government is currently seeking solutions, but some must be created at family level.
00:26When difficulties arise, the government develops a strategy to find solutions, and some of these must be adopted by families.
00:32Those who are used to going out ten times a day with their cars or motorcycles must now understand that we are in a difficult period, and therefore they must reduce their trips.
00:41I thank people for their patience, but they must understand that this situation will continue for the time being.
00:46Militants from the GINIM group announced a ban on fuel imports from neighboring countries into Mali in early September.
00:52During the escort of the fuel tanker convoy, people are dying.
00:56There are ambushes on the roads, and tankers are catching fire with the people inside them who are burning to death.
01:01Despite all this, fuel is still getting into cities.
01:04If fuel is delivered while people are dying and others are being injured, and someone takes this fuel and hides it or sells it at a high price, they are doing the enemy's bidding.
01:13In Mali's capital, Bamako, endless kills are stretched in front of gas stations with some residents spending nights waiting.
