De sources concordantes, le leader politique Ibrahima Abe Sylla serait attendu dans les prochaines heures à Conakry, a-t-on appris.

Le premier responsable de la NGR (Nouvelle Génération pour la République) après environ un an d'absence au pays y retourne soutient-on, pour non seulement rencontrer ses militants à la base, mais aussi pour

activement participer au processus de dialogue en cours, concernant les futures législatives.

Cependant, même si l'on sait que Dr Faya Millimono ( porte parole du collectif des partis politiqus pour la finalisation de la transition et vice-président de la NGR) se bat pour son parti et pour l'opposition que certains

qualifient de ''radicale'' , la probable arrivée de M. Sylla pourrait éclairer la lanterne des uns et des autres quant à la position de sa formation politique.

Car, rappelons que tout récemment, une source proche de la Présidence avait qualifié ce parti de ''centriste'' au cours d'une Interview qu'elle nous avait accordée.

Centriste ou parti de l'opposition? Attendons alors la version du numero un de la Nouvelle Génération pour la République.

A noter selon nos informations que l'homme politique foulera le sol de Guinée par le biais de brussels airlines entre 20 heures et 21 heures (heure locale).

Nous y reviendrons !

U.S. Embassy welcomes applications for  
Fulbright Scholarship Program

The Fulbright Junior Staff Development (JSD) Program
Deadline for next application cycle (2012-2013) is March 31, 2012

The Embassy of the United States in Conakry is pleased to announce the 2012-2013 Fulbright Junior Staff Development Program and to invite applications from qualified candidates.

The Fulbright Junior Staff Development (JSD) Program is the largest Fulbright program with Africa and provides financial assistance for a maximum of two years of study toward a graduate degree from a U.S. university.
The JSD program is open to any qualified candidate but strongly encourages the inclusion of female candidates and prefers candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the United States. Recent (within three years) recipients of Fulbright grants are not eligible to apply, and it should be emphasized that funding is for a maximum period of two years only. It is important to note that degree candidates will typically need to secure additional funding to complete their course of study.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must be citizens of Guinea or permanent residents qualified to hold a valid passport issued by Guinea.  Applicants must have a record of outstanding academic achievement and preparation in their chosen field of study. They must show high motivation and serious commitment to completing the program and to returning home.   Applicants who wish to pursue study in a field other than their current field of study must demonstrate adequate background in that field.   Applicants must be affiliated with or committed to working at an academic institution or a public or private institution upon return, and should have the endorsement of their home institution.   Have completed prior academic study equivalent to at least a 4 year U.S. bachelor's degree, be fluent in English, have outstanding academic records, references and preparation in their chosen field,  have satisfactory required test scores (TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, etc.)  Also, prospective candidates should be no older than 40 years old at the beginning of the program on August 1, 2012

In Guinea, the Fulbright Junior Staff Development Program is administered by the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section, which nominates candidates to the Fulbright Scholarship Board in Washington, DC. The Fulbright Scholarship Board makes the final selection of candidates. We urge aspiring candidates to submit their applications to the Embassy by March 31, 2012; applications received after this date will not be considered.

All application forms must be prepared and submitted electronically: hand-written applications will not be accepted.
