The capital of Guinea-Bissau, Bissau, is experiencing a power outage due to an outstanding electricity bill.
The Turkish utility company, Karpowership, has disconnected the power supply, citing a debt of $17 million (£14 million) owed by the West African government.
Economy Minister Suleimane Seidi has assured that a significant portion of the bill will be settled within two weeks.
Karpowership, a major operator of floating power plants globally, holds a five-year contract to provide almost all of Guinea-Bissau’s electricity.
In a similar move last month, the Turkish company suspended power to Sierra Leone’s capital due to a substantial unpaid debt.
