The year 2021 had more than its fair share of bad news – a continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, a major economic crisis in Lebanon, a brutal crackdown on protests in Colombia and devastating fires in Algeria. But at the FRANCE 24 Observers, we also covered some good-news stories of positive initiatives going on all over the world.
To mark the end of the year, we are revisiting seven of the best positive news stories we covered in 2021.
The Senegalese professor who carried his student’s baby during class, encouraging young mothers to keep up their studies

Labaly Touré, a professor at a Senegalese university, inspired adoration on Twitter after he posted two photos showing himself teaching … while carrying the baby of one of his students.
Our journalists contacted Touré, who said that he took the infant so his mother could focus on her classwork. He passionately encouraged young mothers to keep up their studies.
“What solutions can we offer to young women who come to university with their babies? These young mothers are in a difficult situation and it highlights a real issue in Senegal. Nurseries and nannies are expensive and aren’t options for a lot of people.”
