The Abu Mustafa family eats dinner by the light of an oil lamp in the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in Baghdad, Iraq, as the family lives on a block that gets only one or two hours of electricity per day. There's a running joke in Baghdad during September 2009, that whenever the electricity minister promises to generate more power, it's time to buy more diesel for your private generator. Despite nearly two years of relative calm in Iraq, the government is still unable to guarantee electricity supplies to the general population.
This is a horrible way to have to live, but I'm sure that our ancestor's did much of the same. As a matter of fact I still have the old oil lamp that my grandmother set up house keeping with back when she first got married.
