Donovan, whose last name is Leitch, is best known for his string of 1960's hits including “Mellow Yellow,” “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” “Jennifer Juniper,” “Atlantis,” “Catch The Wind,” “Colours,” “Riki Tiki Tavi,” “Wear Your Love Like Heaven,” and the 1966 chart-topper “Sunshine Superman.” In 2019, Donovan's documentary Donovan & The Beatles premiered on Sky Arts in the UK.ĭonovan recently discovered a track, “Still Waters,” from his 1969 sessions featuring Nils Lofgren, which is featured on his new vault release, Lunarian. In October 2021, he was able to reunite with his family and release the first photographs of the healthy babies. In order to ensure their survival, the babies were immediately transferred to incubators and remained in the care of the clinic's paediatric neonatologist Khalil Msaif for several months.ĭoting husband Abdelkader, a sailor in the Malian Navy, remained in Mali during the birth to care for the couple’s three-year-old daughter, Souda. Shortly after the birth, Mali’s health minister, Dr Fanta Siby, announced that “the newborns and the mother are all doing well.” They each weighed between 500 g and 1 kg (1.1 and 2.2 lb).ĭoctors in Mali initially thought that Mrs Cissé was carrying seven children, but two more were detected after the Malian government flew her to Ain Borja Clinic in Morocco to receive specialist care. The five baby girls (Adama, Oumou, Hawa, Kadidia, Fatouma) and four baby boys (Oumar, Elhadji, Bah and Mohammed VI) were born prematurely via Caesarean section on, 30 weeks into Mrs Cissé’s pregnancy. Nonuplets are extremely rare, and until the arrival of the Cissé children, no cases had been recorded of nine babies from a single birth surviving for more than a few hours. To celebrate, the family is holding a small birthday party with just a few nurses and neighbours from their apartment building. They are living in a specially-equipped flat owned by the clinic, where nurses are on hand to help care for Mrs Cissé and her nine babies.Ī strict diet has also been put in place for the children to ensure they receive all the nutrients they require. The record-breaking babies are still in the care of the clinic in Morocco where they were born, along with their mother, 26-year-old Halima Cissé. "Some are sitting up and can even walk if they hold on to something."Īlthough he admits "it’s not easy", Abdelkader is happy to see "all the babies in perfect health." ![]() "They’re all crawling now," their father, Abdelkader Arby, told the BBC. The previous record was held by eight babies born to Nadya Suleman (USA) aka "Octomom" in 2009. The nine babies were born on and have now achieved the Guinness World Records title for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive. The world-famous Malian nonuplets have celebrated their first birthday today. ![]()
