"The war in Iran has created an energy shock in Africa, as the continent relies heavily on oil and gas imports from the Middle East."
"Much of this supply is currently stuck on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, which is closed, leading to shortages in countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Zambia."
"Africa's largest oil refinery in Nigeria is pumping out crude at maximum capacity, but that's nowhere near enough to meet the continent's needs."
"Years of underinvestment in Africa's energy infrastructure have compounded the crisis, leaving governments with limited options to contain the situation."
