"A very emotional experience."
Simon Pitts, Commissioning Editor, BBC World Service
Senegalese twins Marieme and Ndeye were born sharing much of their bodies, and doctors advised that an attempt to separate them would be fatal for Marieme. But Marieme’s heart condition put both twins in danger.
Mike Wooldridge hears from their father, Ibrahima Ndiaye, a devout Sufi Muslim who had to face an impossible dilemma – whether his daughters should be separated.
