doubling of fuel prices on January 14, 2019 in Emakhandeni township, Bulawayo. - Zimbabwe's
President on January 12 announced a more than 100 percent rise in the price of petrol and diesel in a
move to improve supplies as the country struggles with its worst fuel shortages in a decade. In the city
of Bulawayo, demonstrators attacked minibuses heading to the city centre and used burning tyres and
stones to block the main routes into town. (ZINYANGE AUNTONY/AFP/Getty Images)
