of dreamlike, shining glass and
buildings. The towering skyscrapers were inspired by
sculptures made in African villages. The city will be high-tech and have high-
Internet. Akon wants the city to be a
of call for Senegalese and other Africans facing
injustice in the USA or Europe. He said: "The
back home treats people

."
