Yemen: Fuel truck driver strike in Abyan Governorate in early October
A strike by fuel truck drivers in southern Yemen could persist through early October. Some fuel supply shortages are possible.
A fuel truck strike in Abyan Governorate may persist through early October. Drivers have been staging a strike since early October in response to a tax imposed by officials at military checkpoints on a route between Safer and Aden. Drivers are reportedly conducting a sit-in at the Dofs checkpoint in Abyan. Local officials have deployed to the area to negotiate an end to the action.
Fuel supplies could be disrupted in the coming days, including in Aden. Drivers may also stage additional protests, including through sit-ins or roadblocks.
Plan for potential supply disruptions. As a precaution, avoid protests. Do not pass through protester roadblocks. Wait for officials to clear them. Refuel vehicles when possible.
