La Nouvelle Liberté, created in 1996 by Joseph-Francis Sumégné, is a 12-meter-tall sculpture made of scrap metal, located at the Rond Point Deido, one of Douala's busiest roundabouts. Weighing 8 tons with a 5-meter wingspan, the artwork symbolizes the city's spirit of resourcefulness and recycling. Despite initial controversies over its aesthetics and the artist's origins, the sculpture has become an emblem of Douala, officially inaugurated during the 2007 SUD festival.

The New Freedom (la Nouvelle Liberté) as translated from french is the most popular art work in the city of Douala. The art by Joseph-Francis Sumégné has no depiction of colonialism as most art work in Cameroon do.

This is the center of Douala. Very clean and neat and it's close to the Douala Port.
