Abstract

The article focuses on the fuel shortage crisis in Myanmar following the military junta's announcement of a nationwide rationing system. Long queues and rising prices have been reported in Naypyidaw, major cities like Yangon, Mandalay, and Taunggyi, as well as Thai-Myanmar border towns, with some fuel stations closing or limiting sales. The junta attributed the shortage to global political tensions and conflicts in the Middle East disrupting shipping routes. Additionally, a new "odd-even" driving schedule for private vehicles, excluding electric vehicles, will be implemented starting 7 March to conserve fuel, prompting public criticism.
