AAH's Al-Ahad blames Oil Ministry import ban for fifth-day fuel crisis

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) broadcast a split-screen segment this morning quoting economic expert Ramzi al-Sari saying that the import ban imposed after the Oil Ministry declared self-sufficiency is behind the current crisis. Visual review of the segment shows a lower-third reading "for the fifth consecutive day… escalating kerosene crisis at fuel filling stations". No other tracked channel in the collected window carried the fuel-shortage story.
