Infrastructure

Ain’t no better feeling when the electricity comes back after hours of life without electricity in the desert! Since Saddam’s time, Baghdad’s electricity plants have been damaged and weak. As a result, electricity comes and goes throughout the day. Five hours off, an hour on. Vice versa. Of course, Iraqis being clever as ever, have constructed electricity plants at home, with generators to power tons of homes and tangled DIY wires.
