Africa urged to unite in push for return of stolen artefacts

A group of young African artistes, culturists and curators have suggested that the continent should consider coming together under one umbrella in its push to have artefacts stolen from it by western colonial powers during the colonial times returned.

Speaking Friday during the Kampala Geopolitics week held at Makerere University in Uganda, various actors in the arts field said that the ongoing divisions which have seen individual African countries negotiating with western governments and cultural institutions will only further delay the process.
