Baghdad gets less than one hour of electricity a day

[Modbert]

Azzaman in English

Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, home to more than six million people, hardly gets one hour of non-interrupted electricity supplies every 24 hours.

The city has plunged into darkness with the country’s national grid still unable to increase supplies despite billions of dollars in investments.

Seven years after the 2003-U.S. invasion, power production in the country is still below levels reached under former leader Saddam Hussein.

Prior to his downfall, Baghdad used to have up to 18 hours of electricity supplies a day.

He said like almost everything in Iraq, electricity conditions have been worsening and the current situation is totally opposite what the government says

The ability to even have electricity is something that is desperately needed if Iraq wants to continue to improve as a country.

There were insurgents in Iraq before we "liberated them".

True story.

Did they ask us to "liberate" them? I don't remember seeing that on the news.

How come the women in Iraq say it was better under Saddam?

True story.

You see, it was bad under Saddam, but after what we did, it's worse. In that "black/white" world of right wingers, this simply isn't possible. Once again, conservative values clash with reality.

True story.

Who wouldn't have been there had we not invaded in the first place.
