BAGHDAD — A local governor in Iraq’s oil-rich north cut the electricity going to Baghdad from a power station in his province Monday because his own constituents have been left with little power this winter.
Tamim Gov. Abdul-Rahman Mustafa said residents of Kirkuk only have three hours of power a day. The failure of negotiations with Iraq’s Electricity Ministry to share power generated at a plant in Taza, south of Kirkuk, gave him little choice but to cut the electricity headed to Baghdad, he said.
