Babanki Tungo, Cameroon
Cameroonian conjoined twins Pheinbom and Shevoboh were seen as a bado men when born, but their successful separation by Saudi surgeons has changed their lives - and the faith of some in their village.
They were joined at the chest, abdo men and pelvis when born and some of the delivery nurses in Babanki Tungo, a village in north-west Cameroon, were so shocked by the "strange birth" that they ran out of the small clinic.
The basic medical services in Babanki Tungo were ill-equipped to care for the girls and, following an internet appeal, the Saudi king agreed to pay for them to be flown to Saudi Arabia for surgery in 2007.
The 16-hour operation succeeded in separating the twins and now they each have their own stomach.

However, nearly three years on from the surgery, serious physical challenges remain.
After the separation, the girls were left with one leg each, and they are now waiting to return to Saudi Arabia to be fitted with artificial limbs and begin the arduous task of learning how to walk.
At the mo ment, they can only crawl. Even so, the twins are playful, talkative and mischievous - typical four-year-old girls, in fact.
But when they were born, they were anything but typical
