Why did Bingu wa Mutharika face a nationwide fuel shortage?

  • Lack of oil resources

  • Logistical problems

  • Both A and B

  • Freezing of aid by international community

Answer

Fuel scarcity occurred due to the freezing of aid by the international community, triggered by governance concerns, which strained Malawi's capacity to import and distribute fuel, resulting in nationwide shortages and long queues at filling stations. The lack of forex reserves further exacerbated the situation, hindering the government's ability to procure sufficient fuel to meet the country's demands.
