Guinea was then ruled by a president as head of the 17-member Military Committee for National Rectification.

By presenting the findings of a national study on radio broadcasting in Guinea, the meetings provided a space for open discussion on the liberalization of radio, currently a highly sensitive topic, particularly around the time of presidential elections, which recently took place on December 21, 2003.
Says Elizabeth Côté, IFES representative in Guinea, “The study was carried out to better understand the nature of radio broadcasting in Guinea, people’s perceptions and expectations of existing radio and their views on the potential liberalization of the airwaves.
Current programming does not respond sufficiently to community needs for the presentation of international, national and local news and there is a desire on the part of the population for a radio that focuses more specifically on community issues that affect people’s daily lives.

Most of the actors learned during group discussions and small group work sessions that there was consensus in desiring a liberalization of the media in Guinea, and that civil society must play a key role in advocating for that to happen.
Whereas there is a good relationship between existing rural and community radio, both the study and the workshop demonstrated the desire on the part of the population for a radio that focuses more specifically on community issues that affect people’s daily lives.
Actions such as extending dialogue on the improvement of communication to the local populace, and joint advocacy campaigns targeting government officials for better news management in Guinea are now being undertaken.

 CPJ Protests
The CNC reportedly made this announcement on July 28, a week before the resumption of the trial of opposition leader Alpha Condé on charges of "endangering the state." Local and international media and human rights groups have repeatedly denounced this trial on both procedural and substantive legal grounds.
While Guinea's 1991 press laws are among Africa's most repressive, the CNC was ostensibly created to "protect the rights of citizens to access information, prevent an abusive control of state media by the government, and hamper manipulation of public opinion by means of the media," according to Article 2 of its charter.
We call on the CNC to fulfill its mandate by ensuring that the arrest warrant against Alphadio Modesto Ayibatin is withdrawn and that the press credentials of Mouctar Bah, Ben Daouda Sylla, and Amadou Diallo are unconditionally restored.

The Ministry of Information, the UN country team and the UNDP Communications Office in New York organized the event, with participants from government and private media, international correspondents and UN agencies.
"The role of communicators is very important because they can reach every citizen with that vision of the future and encourage everyone to think about what they can do to make it come about," he said.

To test the hypocholesterolemic mechanisms of corn husk oil (CoHO), male Hartley guinea pigs were fed diets containing increasing doses of CoHO, either 0 (control), 5, 10, or 15 g/100 g, and 0.25 g/100 g cholesterol.
CoHO intake resulted in plasma and hepatic cholesterol concentrations similar to those in guinea pigs from the LC group.
The number of cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol molecules was higher in LDL from the control group than in LDL from the CoHO or the LC groups.
