It should be returned
How I wish France will hold on to them,cos most African countries don't value arts preservation especially Nigeria, its either those arts will be stolen or end up in some rich people home
The sad thing is this art will most likely be destroyed in a civil war or sold by a corrupt government as is customary for African nation's.
The French are thieves.
Good, maybe they will repay Americia the millions they owe for WW2.
Nicely done Macron. Thank you for taking the lead on this. It belongs to the African people... Returning them all will be a nice addition to their history.
Well the world will never see these again.
France will return 26 works of art to Benin more than a century after it took them from the west African nation
Is it Benin republic or to Benin city a state in Nigeria? Make it clear guys...
France should return all the art they have stolen from all African nations.
day are going to sell it back
Meanwhile Africa is confiscating farms from white farmers. 🙄
Blighty and other countries should be bold to emulate same
CNN is FakeNews
Mali should have follow Benin Republic’s footsteps and request for its own. I watch TV some days ago and someone told bullshit say those empires no longer exist and doesn’t know who to return them to. A very nonsensical statement
It's for the best. It's African art, so Africa should get it back Sure it's a loss for France but the colonial era is over. It's not theirs.
They should keep this one. Colonial masters bring back in exchange of moni 😜
England take a cue and return all the stolen artefacts taken from Benin City, Nigeria
Hey is that Jar Jar Binks I see?
It's the right thing to do and don't stop there, send everything back.
The British Empire is responsible for the largest massacre of civilian and military populations since its inception, the worst in the history of mankind to access the submission of these peoples, the result is more than 150 million deaths more than the two world wars combined
Paris in currently rioting and CNN posts a Macron fluff piece lmao 🤣
Yes! Great intercultural work! france paris
At the height of its power during 1534-1980, the French Colonial Empire was home to some 200 million people, 14.5% of the world's population. It covered at its peak, 23.5 million km2, the second largest colonial empire to have existed in human history after the British Empire
That should happen in all country’s to promote peace.
Will they give the Native American artifacts back to the Tribes/Nations they stole from too?
Thank you France, at least you did something! Not like England!
