Halima Cissé of Mali has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by giving birth to nine healthy babies simultaneously, setting a new Guinness World Record.
Alongside her husband, Abdelkader Arby, they welcomed the nonuplets on May 4, 2021
The premature delivery occurred via a caesarean section during Halima’s 30th week of pregnancy.
The nonuplets consist of five girls and four boys, named Adama, Oumou, Hawa, Kadidia, Fatouma, Oumar, Elhadji, Bah, and Mohammed VI.
After their stay in Morocco, the children and their mother returned to Mali.
Abdelkader Arby, the father, shared, “They all have different characters. Some are quiet, while others make more noise and cry a lot. Some want to be picked up all the time. They are all very different, which is entirely normal.”
The Malian government played a crucial role in supporting the mother’s care, arranging her transfer to Morocco during pregnancy.
Caring for the nonuplets presents a significant challenge for the parents, but Abdelkader expressed faith in their ability to raise and care for the children with the help of Allah.
Prior to the birth of the nonuplets, the couple already had a 3-year-old daughter.
