Tanzania president slashes convoy, orders officials to travel by bus over fuel crisis
Tanzanian President, Samia Suluhu Hassan has reduced her convoy and ordered government officials to travel in a single bus during official trips to reduce fuel consumption amid shortages caused by the war between the US, Israel, and Iran. Speaking at a swearing-in ceremony for officials on Wednesday, April 8. Hassan said that during her official trips, only her core convoy, including her escort, police, and a backup vehicle, would remain in the official motorcade. Hassans presidential entourage normally comprises more than 30 vehicles, including luxury SUVs and police outriders, often bringing traffic to a standstill. From now on, wherever I go, all officials will travel together in one bus to cut fuel consumption, Hassan said. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, through which roughly a fifth of the worlds oil and gas typically flows, has forced several countries to introduce fuel rationing measures. The post
