Hi, as a seasonal contributor here, a few comments..........
Saw this heated discussion a few days back by fellow Africans, and there's reason for all the concerns about the selection process, scholarship distribution, e.t.c
I also did not get a scholarship, because i did not apply :) however, let's wish the folks who were selected like in Tunisia all the best, and we also focus on more that the WMF has to offer to the community.
Am hopeful all discontented voices have been heard and appropriate action will be taken.
