Somaliland's baby-delivering minister
HARGEISA, 9 July 2003(BBC)--Somaliland's Foreign Minister Edna Alda Ismail loves delivering babies at her hospital in the capital, Hargeisa.

When she is not at the foreign ministry or representing her country abroad, she spends her time at the hospital she established with her own money.

"I am still a nurse and a midwife. I was doing my midwifery at three o'clock this morning. There was an emergency," she told the BBC's Network Africa programme. MORE
