I can see many people living in Conakry but... in Kankan or Fanara? I've been offered to moved with my wife and work there for a construction company and...I have no idea about Guinea?!!
Sorry for answer you so late. I didn´t accept that offer. So, I´m still in Spain. After talking to some people from the company some issues seemed not enough guaranteed (security, health care...). May be it´s only in my mind but it´s a great life change. But I´m thinking about it again (spanish situation is so bad...)
totally agree with you there. West Africa is moving forward. I am an Australian living and working in Guinea now. The opportunities here are many. With the current situation in Europe the focus for investment especially from mining houses and the Chinese is in West Africa. It is something to seriously consider.
