Shipping firm MSC suspends Mali services over fuel, security concerns

BAMAKO: Swiss-based transport company MSC said it was no longer accepting bookings to Mali due to security issues and a fuel shortage resulting from a blockade imposed by militants. The two-month-old fuel blockade imposed by militants on the landlocked West African country has all but paralyzed the capital, Bamako. The terror group has attacked convoys of fuel tankers attempting to reach Bamako, turning the screws on the military-led government and raising concern that the extremists might eventually try to impose their rule.
