AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:
Global energy prices have soared this year in several. African countries, the squeeze on consumers is tight. Across the continent, not only is fuel getting more expensive, it's also becoming increasingly difficult to find. Joining us now to talk about these widespread fuel shortages is Kinley Salmon. He is a correspondent for The Economist based in Senegal. Thanks for being with us.
KINLEY SALMON: Thanks for having me.
