Largest statue in Africa is more secular, self-aggrandizing, and oddly it’s in Senegal: I’d never heard of this one, so I looked it up. Here it is:
And....I kind of like it. Art critics apparently hate it. Wikipedia says they complain that the figure aren’t “African” enough, and display “macho sexism”. In the meantime, local imams complain that it’s “immodest”.
Well. No wonder I like it.

It looks like a family, with the child pointing to the future.
No wonder the f-ing critics hate it.

If the local imams don't like it, #1, nice job, and #2, behead the silly bastards and put their heads on stakes near the statue. Just an idea. I think remember that North Korea was the contractor on this job.

To me it says "Family", and so I like it too.
