The African Renaissance Monument is a 49m tall bronze statue situated on top one of the twin slopes known as Collines des Mamelles, outside of Dakar, Senegal. Manufactured ignoring the Atlantic Ocean in the Ouakam suburb, the statue was outlined by the Senegalese planner Pierre Goudiaby after a thought displayed by president Abdoulaye Wade and constructed by an organization from North Korea. Site planning on top of the 100-meter high slope started in 2006 and development of the bronze statue started April 3, 2008. Initially planned for fruition in December 2009, deferrals extended into mid 2010, and the formal commitment happened on 4 April 2010, Senegal’s “National Day,” honoring the 50th commemoration of the nation’s autonomy from France. It is the tallest statue on the planet outside Asia and the previous Soviet Union.
