For what it's worth the original poster seems to be from Sudan, another current (and more recent) war-zone. It's this part that made me think of that general area: > our concrete homes are not designed to be habitable without AC power. and a little web-searching confirmed it. The reason being that concrete-made buildings in Ukraine are definitely habitable right now without AC (I live in a concrete-made building myse…

It's unclear if he means Alternating Current or Air Conditioning with AC. I hope it's the former, because the latter needs kilowatts, not the 270 W they have. "Concrete" can also mean "the cement based building material" or "specific", as in "this specific building needs power to be habitable, because " (pumping drinking water for example, which is mentioned). The comment "because Russia and America are busy in Ukrai…

No, it doesn't. It's a fair comment about external arms supply intensifying conflicts, without apportioning blame.

Interesting comment by the OP of the EE Post: "Yes. we already done that but not over do it because we hope the power will be restored.I think Probably the war will end because Russia and America are busy in Ukraine and hopefully will not supply fighting parties with bombs, rockets and ammunition and they have to keep fighting with sticks and swords"

This remark implies that the warring parties are somehow equally responsible. I do not know where the OP is (Sudan?) and know nothing about what’s going on there. But Ukraine situation is crystal clear - there is the victim and the aggressor. Representing them as as equally guilty of war is at best misleading.

What else would they need power for? Heating and cooling are the only appliances I can think of that would be necessary for habitability.

Whenever I get the urge to respond to a question with "You don't want to do that, you want to do this instead..." I'm going to prefix the question in my head with "As I am currently in a war zone" and try answering it.

The problem with answering these questions is that they're always being circled by reflective vest wearing and clipboard toting vultures and you'll wind up fighting with them if you try and give a real answer.
