## Prediction

Within 7 days, existing fuel‑price protests in Kenya, Pakistan, and Myanmar are likely to intensify as global fuel costs rise further from Gulf conflict, potentially transforming into broader anti‑government movements. Rising pump prices and transport costs will magnify anger at corruption, subsidy reforms, and perceived elite insulation from hardship. Governments may respond with selective repression, subsidy tweaks, or blame‑shifting to external crises, but risk losing control of the narrative. Confirmation would be protest size growth, more politicized slogans, and security force deployments; denial would be rapid price stabilization or new subsidies that visibly calm street mobilization.

## Drivers

- Documented fuel‑price protests in Kenya, Pakistan, Myanmar
- Expected increase in global fuel prices due to Hormuz and Saudi shock
- Historical link between energy inflation and broader political unrest in these states
