The US Embassy in Niamey hosted the returning Mandela Washington YALI Fellows for a press conference yesterday at the American Cultural Center. Representatives from various media outlets had the opportunity to ask the young African leaders questions about their experience while on the Fellowship program in the U.S. and about what they hope to do and share with their fellow Nigerien youth to build the country. One of the six Nigerien Fellows who participated in this program, Halimatou Daoura, is still in the U.S. doing an internship at the US African Development Foundation.
