Power Cuts Strangle Businesses
Power outages in Gitega are severely impacting small businesses, per sosmediasburundi.org. The persistent energy crisis has left many shops and markets without reliable electricity, disrupting daily operations.
The situation is compounded by fertilizer shortages across Burundi, with farmers facing significant challenges, as reported by the same source. Crop yields may suffer due to limited access to essential agricultural inputs.
Meanwhile, regional instability continues with the FRN claiming territorial gains in Rugezi, according to sosmediasburundi.org. This ongoing conflict adds to the country's broader security concerns and humanitarian pressures.
