Comoros Government Intensifies Negotiations Amidst Lingering Transport Strike
The Comorian government intensified negotiations on October 1st with striking merchants and transporters. This follows a week-long stoppage triggered by significant fuel price hikes on September 21st, including a 40% rise in petrol and 71.4% in diesel. Protests led to one fatality and 14 injuries, and earlier agreements failed to end the transport paralysis.
