Omdurman. Sudanese welder Shannan Mohammed has been building furniture for a family ​in Omdurman little by little as constant blackouts interrupt his work.

Pointing to half-built ‌doors, chairs, and tables in the courtyard of a home, he says, "All this is money that has been frozen because of lack of electricity stopping the work."

Army-controlled areas of Sudan have been plagued by blackouts ​that have worsened recently due to a combination of targeting of the power grid by ​the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and meagre government funding to carry out repairs.
