> Ghana produces crude oil, but it has relied on imports for refined oil products since its only refinery shut down after an explosion in 2017

This seems like the core of the story. Nearly 6 years after that incident, Ghana has been unable to repair the factory and refine it's own oil. My assumption is the tale behind that is tragic and timeless corruption.

Very similar story in Cameroon. Sole refinery broken since 2019 [0].

Now it’s been imported again…
