Fuel prices surge in Somalia and Tanzania amid supply disruption

Fuel prices surge in Somalia and Tanzania amid supply disruption Somalia’s government said it has limited control over fuel prices as imports are handled by private companies in a largely liberalised market. Petroleum Minister Dahir Shire Mohamed said prices have risen sharply due to “external shocks”, linking the increase to regional tensions affecting global supply routes. Fuel prices have climbed from $0.70 to $1.75 per litre, a 150 percent increase.
