Statue of African Renaissance

49m tall, standing on the highest point of Dakar - a present from the President, built by the North Koreans.

At the inauguration ceremony, President Wade spoke: "It brings to life our common destiny. Africa has arrived in the 21st century standing tall and more ready than ever to take its destiny into its hands" - just a shame it cost £16.6 million to build and he reckons he's entitled to 35% of the profits then, eh.
