Mali Schools Closed Amidst Fuel Crisis; Russia Deal
Mali has closed schools and universities for two weeks because they don't have enough fuel.
This is happening because militants have blocked fuel supplies, making it hard to get around.
Some gas stations have closed, and people are walking or staying home.
The government has made a deal with Russia to get fuel and other supplies, but the exact details haven't been announced yet.
Mali has suspended school and university classes for two weeks.
The closures are due to a fuel shortage.
The fuel shortage is caused by a blockade imposed by al Qaeda-linked insurgents.
Russia will deliver petroleum and agricultural products to Mali.
Some fuel stations in Bamako have closed due to the shortage.
