North Korea and Arts in Africa?

We find it quite ironical to find a regime, closed off from the rest of the international community slowly finding its way through a cultural discourse. Just recently especially within the Western media, alot of attention was spend on the lavish spending of the Senegalese government on a monument celebrating their 50th independence. From a smart perspective these money is worth spending on the people who needed it most, otherwise how could their taste the suppose fruits of freedom, when their leaders can use billions for objects of admiration. The corny part of the debate was the people who built these kinds of monuments on African soil- At the expense of their oppresion, North Koreans are locked away in concentration camps,only to flown to Africa to build these monuments, which paradoxically suppose to reflect freedom. The institution responsible for this Mansudae Overseas Development Project has been building monuments and state houses in Africa for billions. Importing North Korean workers to work on these sites at the expense of local people, who most are unemployed. Certainly these governments are doing their people are great favour, by subjugating them in the ever continuing circle of poverty.

Here is a list of sites,whic could be of interests. But be carefull sometimes things sound true than their usually are, because it's a war of information.
