Residents of the capital have been trooping to the Yaounde Center for Children in Distress to see the country’s so-called miracle baby. “It was amazing to see that one soldier wounded had in his hands a little baby with mud everywhere,” Serge Mandoumbi, a Cameroon presidential guard official told VOA. But witnesses told VOA she had tossed her baby out the window of the train car before it flipped. Some said the passenger train was overloaded, but the train operator’s parent company, Bollore Africa Railways, told Reuters Tuesday the train was moving at “an abnormally high speed” when it went off the tracks.
