Power cables erected in a chaotic way are pictured at a residential area of Sibline village, in the Chouf area, Mount Lebanon October 26, 2015. Four decades ago, Lebanon used to export power to its larger neighbour Syria. Now it barely generates enough electricity to keep street lamps on at night. Outages have plagued Lebanon since its own 1975-1990 civil war and the power crisis is a legacy of that conflict, with the country now shackled by paralysis in government and widely perceived corruption that has put a brake on development.
