Adopted in 1960 to replace the flag of the [[Mali Federation]], it has been the flag of the Republic of [[Senegal]] since the country gained independence that year.

|Monument de la renaissance africaine 3.JPG|The [[African Renaissance Monument]] ({{langx|fr|Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine}}) is a 49 meter tall [[bronze]] statue located on top of one of the twin hills known as [[Collines des Mamelles]], outside [[Dakar]], [[Senegal]]. Built overlooking the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the [[Ouakam]] suburb, the statue was designed by the Senegalese architect Pierre Goudiaby after an idea presented by president [[Abdoulaye Wade]] and built by [[Mansudae Overseas Projects]], a company from [[North Korea]]. Site preparation on top of the 100-meter high hill began in 2006, and construction of the bronze statue began 3 April 2008. Originally scheduled for completion in December 2009, delays stretched into early 2010, and the formal dedication occurred on 4 April 2010, Senegal's "National Day", commemorating the 50th anniversary of the [[History of Senegal|country's independence]] from [[France]]. It is the [[List of statues by height|tallest statue in Africa]].|credit10=Credit: [[User:Fawaz.tairou|Fawaz.tairou]] <br>'''[[African Renaissance Monument|More about the African Renaissance Monument...]]'''
|Five Pointed Star Lined.svg|[[Serer religion#Cosmology|The star ''Yoonir'']], symbol of the Universe in [[Serer religion]] and [[Serer creation myth|Cosmogony]]. The [[Serer people]] are one of the main ethnic groups of Senegal, and are also found in [[The Gambia]] and [[Mauritania]]. The peak of the star (top point) represents their Supreme Deity ([[Roog]]). The other four points represent the [[Cardinal direction|cardinal points]] of the Universe. The crossing of the lines ("bottom left" and "top right", and "top left" and "bottom right") pinpoints the [[Optical axis|axis]] of the [[Universe]] that all energies pass. The top point is "the point of departure and conclusion, the origin and the end". Among the Serers who cannot read or write the Latin alphabet, it is very common for them to sign official documents with the star of ''Yoonir'', as the star also represents "good fortune and destiny". Yoonir also represents the Serer people and their precolonial [[Kingdom of Sine]].|credit7=Credits: [[User talk:Sarang|Sarang]], [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]], (and [[:File:STAR OF YOONIR SERER COSMOLOGY.jpg|Yoonir file]] by [[User:Tamsier|Tamsier]])<br>For more about the [[Pentagram#Serer religion|pentagram]] in Serer spirituality, see '''[[Serer religion#Cosmology|Yoonir in Serer religion]]''' and '''[[Serer creation myth]]'''.
