The long-suffering people of Niger's capital, Niamey, are used to intermittent power cuts, according to AFP report. But since the coup d'etat one week ago, interminable blackouts have tested their patience to the limit. Faced with hours of enforced downtime every day, the poorer districts of the capital erupt into cheers of relief when lights, fridges and tools finally hum back into life, according a report published by Daily Mail.
In the popular district of Lazaret in Niamey, cries of joy welcome the return of electricity cut for nearly five hours: for a week, the Nigerien capital has been suffering from major load shedding, a direct consequence of regional sanctions after the putsch of July 26.
