Generator Men Let Baghdad See the Light, but at a Price, Washington Post
 









Excerpts: Maki, one of Shelal's customers, pays 13,000 Iraqi dinars, slightly
less than $9, for every ampere of electricity, up from 9,000 dinars two months
ago because of the rising cost of fuel to power the generator. "There is no
other option. Even if it became 20,000, I would pay," said Maki. "If the
generator men weren't here, we would die out of sorrow."(...) "The generator men
are now the most powerful people, but they are not the most hated. The
government is the most hated in Baghdad."
