Hopefully the crew working on this isn't the same one that failed to finish the Ryugyong Hotel.

I remember back in the 80’s when the Norks got the contract for the Zimbabwe ‘freedom fighters’ monument. The locals were puzzled when the memorial statues all had prominent oriental features!

LOL. Did statues resemble Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il?

Oh, I hope so! A statue of ‘lil Kim dressed-up as a African warrior might be worth some won someday!

The Norks are just surrogates of the Chinese, who have opened up a new uranium mine there. This is some kind of political payback, no doubt.

If the good people of Senegal are incapable of building a huge monument to themselves then what does the monumement celebrate?
