The US-Israel-Iran conflict drags on, while multiple African countries guard against an energy crisis.

As the US-Iran conflict continues, international oil prices have been rising continuously, and African countries have taken measures to prevent an energy crisis. According to the BBC report on the 27th, the main electricity supplier in the South Sudanese capital Juba, Jedco, announced on the 25th the implementation of rotating power supply in different areas of the city, with "priority given to strategic power allocation" under the current situation. In less than a month, Zimbabwe's domestic fuel prices have risen by about 40%. The Zimbabwean government announced an increase in the ethanol blending ratio in gasoline from 5% to 20%, and at the same time, the partial fuel import tax will be eliminated to control fuel prices. Ethiopia has ordered fuel companies to prioritize the security agencies, major government projects, key industries, and the production of essential goods. The energy management department also requires gas stations to prioritize fuel supply for public transportation, and to implement fuel rationing to save fuel. Statistical data shows that about 20% of gas stations in Kenya are facing supply shortages. Industry organizations stated that panic buying has caused a surge in fuel demand, and fuel inventory levels are declining. A Kenyan energy company stated on the 26th that the increased demand has led to temporary shortages at some of its gas stations, and they are closely monitoring the situation and making efforts to ensure that the stations have oil available. The Kenyan Ministry of Energy denied on the 25th that the country is experiencing an energy shortage, accusing retailers of hoarding fuel due to anticipated price increases and urging the public not to panic buy.
