US museum returns Ghana's Looted Artifacts after 150 years

Seven royal artifacts that were looted from Ghana's ancient Asante kingdom by British colonial forces 150 years ago have been returned by a US museum. The artifacts, including an elephant tail whisk, an ornamental chair, gold stool ornaments, a gold necklace, and two bracelets, were kept by the Fowler Museum at the University of California. The return of these treasured items is part of a growing trend of repatriating stolen artifacts to African countries, although activists argue that many more are still missing. The artifacts were presented to the Asante kingdom in a ceremony on Thursday.
