Possible Fuel Shortages Due to Labor Strike

This Warden Message alerts U.S. citizens to possible fuel shortages next week in Senegal.

The Senegalese Fuel Transport Workers Union is planning a labor strike on April 26th, 27th, and 28th, 2011. If the strike happens as planned, no fuel will be delivered to service stations on those dates and gasoline supplies may become scarce or unavailable. Even after the strike ends, fuel shortages should be expected to continue for several days.

The Embassy recommends that U.S. citizens fill their vehicles with fuel as early as possible this weekend and keep them full in anticipation of expected fuel shortages. Mission personnel are being advised to do the same.
