Gas Shortages in Dakar, Senegal

Description:This bustling city is recovering from a cooking gas shortage that hit in early January. Despite government assurances throughout January that butane gas was on its way, the long lines of people snaking around city depots grew by the day, with people’s frustration and fatigue mounting. The shortage began when the President Abdoulaye Wade's government fell behind on its subsidy payments, and the boats, expected for January, either didn’t come or refused to deliver their cargo once in Dakar port.
