What a mess. The country is full of illegal oil refineries, and there are only few legal ones. Now, one of them exploded. The cause has not been reported on, but the last sentence could enlighten us.

The country is full of illegal oil refineries,

Any country that would outlaw the refining of their natural resources is a failed state.

They need to outlaw their parliament, not the refineries.

The illegal refineries don´t pay taxes.

Refineries have a long history of fires and explosions. Bootleg refineries are probably more dangerous.
