Turkish company Karpowership has restored power to Guinea-Bissau's capital after cutting off supplies over an unpaid bill of $15m .
A spokesperson for the company told the BBC that Karpowership was "grateful" for Guinea-Bissau's efforts to pay the bill, which made it possible to resume electricity supplies. Some public hospitals used generators to carry out surgery, local journalist Assana Sambu told the BBC. Media outlets were also affected by the power cut, with state-run Rádio Nacional among those that stopped broadcasting,
The World Bank said in 2020 that Guinea-Bissau's "electricity sector has been trapped in a downward spiral for decades" due to political instability, poor management, lack of planning and "vested interests".
