Juba, South Sudan
South Sudan and Mauritius have both announced measures restricting electricity consumption due to the fuel crisis triggered by the US and Israel's war in Iran, which is also affecting other countries across Africa. South Sudan has begun rationing electricity to preserve dwindling fuel reserves needed for generators, while Mauritius is exploring similar conservation strategies and monitoring petrol quality as supply chains tighten. The conflict in the Middle East has significantly disrupted oil exports, leading to price surges and scarcity in nations heavily dependent on imported refined petroleum.
