Tunisia Government Exhaust Petroleum Reserve

Officials at Tunisia’s powerful UGTT labour union say the country has only enough petrol to last a week. <br />Energy Minister Naila Nouira has denied that the fuel shortage is down to the government’s inability to pay for supplies, insisting instead that many motorists are taking more than they need. <br />She added that a tanker, full of petrol, is now being unloaded which will give the country several more days' supply.
