Monument de la Renaissance Africaine

This sculpture symbolizes the country's dissatisfaction with its retiring president. It was built with money that could have been used for infrastructure and designed by a South Korean, rather than a Senegalese.
Today on our town tour we saw many soldiers. They were worried that there would be violence. But the winner prevailed 70/30 and the former president conceded. A peaceful passing of power.
