Turkish company Karpowership restores electricity to Guinea-Bissau capital

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.
