Senegal Buries 11 Babies After Hospital Fire May 29, 2022 5:29 PM Agence France-Presse Visitors stand in front of the Mame Abdoul Aziz Sy Dabakh Hospital, where eleven babies died following a suspected electrical fire, in Tivaouane, Senegal, May 26, 2022. Visitors stand in front of the Mame Abdoul Aziz Sy Dabakh Hospital, where eleven babies died following a suspected electrical fire, in Tivaouane, Senegal, May 26, 2022. DAKAR, SENEGAL — Senegal on Sunday buried 11 babies who died in a hospital blaze, the local mayor said, after the tragedy sparked fresh anger over the state of the health system. The blaze late Wednesday in the western city of Tivaouane was just the latest in a series of hospital deaths that have exposed the weaknesses of Senegal's health care system. President Macky Sall on Thursday fired his health minister. But for many Senegalese, that is not enough, and they fear more tragedies in the future. Last month, a heavily pregnant woman died in agony after her appeals for a caesarean at a public hospital in the northwestern town of Louga were denied. The 11 babies who died in Wednesday's fire in a neonatal ward were buried after a single ceremony at the Tivaouane cemetery, in accordance with the grieving families' wishes. The burial took place "behind closed doors," Tivaouane mayor Demba Diop Sy told AFP. "We sympathize with the pain of the families," he added. "Today is Mother's Day (in Senegal) and there are 11 mothers who have lost their children." An electrical short-circuit has been cited as a possible cause of the blaze at the Mame Abdou Aziz Sy Dabakh hospital. Serigne Cheikh Tidiane Sy Al Amine, a local religious figure, said the hospital had been plagued for 15 years by "donations of obsolete equipment and broken promises to build a new hospital.” Private health services are expensive in Senegal, and many residents of Tivaouane and its surrounding areas must choose between the hospital or traditional medicine. The mayor said the neonatal unit, which only opened late last year co-financed by a private company, was equipped with safety equipment and that staff had undergone fire alarm training. The president has ordered an audit of Senegal's neonatal services and acknowledged the "obsolescence" of the national health system. Senegal, widely seen a stable democracy in a turbulent region, is considered to have superior health care to many other African countries. But there is a significant gap in the quality of service between large towns, smaller settlements and rural areas. The latest tragedy was the third time in just over a year that people have died in maternity units of public hospitals, leading to accusations of inaction by authorities. In April 2021, four newborns died in a hospital fire in the northern town of Linguere

Plot Born in Kasungu, Malawi, William Kamkwamba is a young schoolboy who comes from a family of farmers who live in the nearby village of Wimbe. William has a talent for fixing radios for his friends and neighbours and spends his free time looking through the local junkyard for salvageable electronic components. Although he is soon banned from attending school due to his parents' inability to pay his tuition fees, William blackmails his science teacher (who is in a secret relationship with William's sister) into letting him continue attending his class and have access to the school's library where he learns about electrical engineering and energy production. By the mid-2000s, the family's crops fail due to drought and the resulting famine devastates William's village, leading to riots over government rationing. William's family is also robbed of their already meager grain stores. People soon begin abandoning the village, and William's sister elopes with his former teacher in order to leave her family "one less mouth to feed". Seeking to save his village from the drought, William devises a plan to concept prototype which works successfully, but to build a larger windmill, William requires his father, Trywell, to give permission to dismantle the family bicycle for parts, which is the only bicycle in the village and the family's last major asset. His father believes the exercise futile and destroys the prototype and forces William to toil in the fields. After William's dog dies of starvation and hope seems lost, William's mother, Agnes, intervenes and urges his father to reconsider. William and his father reconcile after William buries his dog. With the help of his friends and the few remaining members of the village, they build a full-size windmill which leads to a successful crop being sown. Word of William's windmill spreads and he is awarded a scholarship to attend school, ultimately receiving a degree from Dartmouth College.
