A baby born on a Turkish Airlines flight earlier this month will receive the support of Turkey's flagship carrier for her future, the company's chairman said April 20.        

İlker Aycı told reporters at Istanbul's Atatürk International Airport the baby girl - who was born midair on a flight from Guinea to Turkey - would receive educational support from the airline.        

Companies controlled by Israeli mining magnate Beny Steinmetz sued fellow billionaire George Soros, claiming he cost them at least $10 billion through a defamation campaign that stripped them of rights to an iron ore deposit in Guinea and other business opportunities around the world.

The cabin crew who helped deliver a baby girl on a recent Turkish Airlines flight between Guinea and Burkina Faso have recounted the events, saying they all experienced a "miracle" together.

The Turkish Airlines CEO has criticized the British ambassador to Ankara over the U.K.'s ban on carrying electronic devices inflight from airports in Turkey following the envoy's congratulatory tweet on a baby who was born mid-air onboard the flagship carrier.

A woman successfully gave birth to a healthy baby girl during a Turkish Airlines (THY) flight to Istanbul late on April 7.   

Diaby Nafi, the passenger who gave birth on board, had not appeared to be nine months pregnant and had not told the airline or crew of her condition, according to cabin crew. 

The number of people travelling to Turkey for transplant operations has doubled in the last two years, a specialist doctor told state-run Anadolu Agency on Feb. 10.        

As military interventions go, it was practically flawless.

Last month Gambia's long-ruling dictator, President Yahya Jammeh, lost an election that turned out to be a little freer than he had planned. After first conceding defeat and even phoning up the victor, property developer Adama Barrow, to congratulate him, Jammeh changed his mind and decided to stay in power.

Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh flew out late Jan. 21 from the country he ruled for 22 years to cede power to President Adama Barrow and end a political crisis.

Jammeh refused to step down after a Dec. 1, 2016 election in which Barrow was declared the winner, triggering weeks of uncertainty that almost ended in a military intervention involving five other west African nations.

Some 800 migrants were plucked from flimsy rubber boats on Jan. 12, the Italian Coast Guard said, as Libya-based people smugglers took advantage of a window of good mid-winter weather to send them to sea. 

Significant changes will soon be made to the curriculum of Turkish schools abroad, which have been taken over from the network of Fethullah Gülen, the U.S. based preacher widely believed to have orchestrated the July 2016 coup attempt, according to the chairman of the Maarif (Education) Foundation.
