The Iran conflict directly disrupted oil supplies to African nations, forcing countries like Nigeria and Kenya to implement rolling blackouts and fuel rationing protocols documented by the IEA in 2024. Pretending these aren't real consequences is frankly delusional.

African nations are literally having to cut fuel supplies by 30 percent according to recent energy reports because Iran tensions disrupted oil exports. The rationing strategies are actually working better than predicted for keeping essential services running.

people act like rationing doesn't work when i literally lived through rolling blackouts in lagos and saw folks adapt just fine. denying the reality of what's actually happening on the ground is just naive.

Acting like Iran beef doesn't crash African fuel markets is wild, people act like geopolitics doesn't affect gas stations lmao. Supply chains exist.

when fuel got scarce where i live, rationing actually helped things not fall apart completely. people adapted faster than you'd think, so maybe controlled scarcity beats chaos.
