Traffic from Eritrea Causing Fuel Shortages in TigrayOctober 13, 2018 - The re-opening of borders between Ethiopia and Eritrea has created fuel shortages in major towns of Tigray, according to the Reporter. Traffic has increased significantly, according to Tigray Urban Development, Trade & Industry Bureau. Due to price differences and availability issues, drivers coming from Eritrea would like to fill up their vehicles in Tigray, causing shortages, especially in towns that do not have many gas stations. “The problem needs a solution,” Daniel Mekonne, deputy head from Tigray Urban Development, Trade & Industry Bureau told The Reporter. Ethiopia and Eritrea normalized relations a few months ago, ending two decades of hostilities.
