Here's a British saying he'd close visas to African countries that seek reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. His name clearly shows he's of immigrant origin. It's unbelievable.
Benin abstained during the vote on the United Nations resolution recognizing the slave trade as the greatest crime against humanity. Today they are trying to make up for it.
This behavior is still present in institutions. Many who experience it are embarrassed and decide to do nothing, thereby allowing the hydra to survive and grow.
Un comportement encore présent dans les institutions. Plusieurs qui le vivent sont embarrassées et décident de ne rien faire, ce faisant, laissent survivre et grandir l’hydre.
Une architecture qui impressionne encore aujourd’hui avec le risque de masquer les travaux forcés et les crimes utilisés pour les construire.

"The remains of 63 Khoisan, the name given to the first inhabitants of South Africa, have been exhumed for study by museums and other institutions."
Do we have any idea of the results of these studies conducted on all these bodies?

The same is true for 14 of the 18 pieces exhibited at the Rietberg Museum, and for 11 of the 16 pieces on display at the Ethnography Museum of the University of Zurich.
Of the nine pieces held by the Geneva Ethnography Museum, three were looted and will be returned. In other words, the thieves hand over the stolen object and that's it. These processes perpetuate the lawlessness.

This paper state clearly how colonial rules and values are rooted in systems. Taking example in development context, it shows the discrepancies between concepts and realities.
How to get this on the table of discussion during the restitution process?

Statement by Nso Development and Cultural Association on return of Ngonnso in September.
Let’s share deep moment of joy & celebration as Nso Fon Sehm Mbinglo I announces return of NGONNSO in September. Will royal belongings at @lindenmuseum.bsky.social & @ifeastinsideyou.bsky.social join her?
@sylvienjobati.bsky.social @annebrandstetter.bsky.social @kulturspk.bsky.social @diplo.de
Why not having a talk as civil society organisations with government and museum about the issue.
An event is also welcome
Could we have a worthy farewell event in Germany when cultural belongings return to Cameroon in September? They have been with us more than 100 years as colonial loot.
