Chad: Gas shortages in N’djamena since early October

Gas shortages affecting N’djamena since early October; related protests possible

TIMEFRAME expected from 10/16/2018, 12:00 AM until 10/19/2018, 11:59 PM (Africa/Ndjamena). COUNTRY/REGION N'Djamena

Event

Gas shortages ongoing in the capital N'djamena since early October continue as of Tuesday, October 16. The shortages have been attributed to a misunderstanding between the government and Chinese nationals managing the N'djamena Refinery Company, which prompted Chinese technicians to stop production for several days. According to the government, the issues should be resolved shortly. However, if this is not the case, unrest may erupt in the capital.

Advice

Individuals in the country should try to stock up on gas where possible to do so. Should scuffles erupt at gas stations, remove yourself as quickly and safely as possible.
