A California museum returns seven royal artefacts to Ghana’s traditional Ashanti king to commemorate his silver jubilee in the first planned handovers of Ashanti treasures looted during colonial times. The ceremony came as pressure grows for European and US museums and institutions to restore African artefacts stolen during the rule of former colonial powers Britain, France, Germany and Belgium. “We're waiting for the ones from the British Museum, which should arrive in the fourth or fifth month. When they arrive, we'll also put them on display for you to see, so that everyone knows that the whites stole from us,” says Ashanti King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
