In cities like Addis Ababa, power outages are a frequent part of life. People often keep rechargeable lamps and charcoal stoves (Mankoriya) as backups. When the power comes back, children in the street often shout 'Metta! Metta!' (It has come!) in celebration. Many businesses have generators. If you see lights in one shop but not the next, the first one likely has a generator.
