Description
Mahmud Aguil has a comfortable house in central Tripoli, but Libya's chronic power cuts and roasting summer heat have forced him to sleep elsewhere: in the back of his air-conditioned van. In Benghazi, Ahmed Hejjaji's four year-old disabled son needs electricity for his medical equipment. Libyans, many impoverished after a decade of turmoil, have been enduring power cuts of up to 18 hours a day, even as their country sits atop Africa's largest proven oil reserves. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
