Germany Returns Artifacts Seized During Colonial Rule to Three African Nations_我的网站

一 |     视频加载中...美国当选总统特朗普的就职典礼将于1月20日举行。    The announcement was handed down by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which approved 24 objects for return, including jewelry, tools, and fashion items.,“The decision makes clear that the issue of the return of items collected in a colonial context does not always come down to injustice,” foundation president Hermann Parzinger said in a statement. “The special significance – in particular spiritual – of an artifact for the community it originated from may also justify return.”,Included on the list is the shell-studded statue of Ngonnso’, the mother goddess of the Nso’ people of northwestern Cameroon, which was “donated” to Berlin’s Ethnological Museum in 1903 by a German military officer.,Also included were objects seized during the Maji Maji Rebellion, an anti-colonial upheaval that rocked German East Africa, a territory including modern-day Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda, from 1905 to 1907. As many as 300,000 Africans were killed in Germany’s suppression of the uprising.,In May, the museum announced it was sending 23 stolen artifacts to Namibia on long-term loan, but was not returning them outright. Berlin reached a deal last year to admit it committed genocide against Namibia’s Herero and Nama peoples from 1904 to 1908, when they rose up against German colonization and were driven off their land and into the desert as punishment. The deal includes a $1.4 billion payment to Namibia, but the descendants of those who survived have called it insufficient to right the wrongs committed.,Germany to Pay Namibia $1.3Bln in Recognition of 20th Century Genocide28 May 2021, 07:13 GMT,Germany has also pledged to send other artifacts back to Africa, including the famous Benin Bronzes, intricate sculptures taken from the Kingdom of Benin, which is today part of Nigeria, despite the existence of the country of Benin, which was a German colony.,A study commissioned by the French government in 2018, another former major colonial power in Africa, found that more than 90% of African art is housed in museums outside the continent. However, even in Europe, much of the art pillaged by the Nazis in their continent-spanning wars in the 1930s and 1940s also has not been returned and continues to be traded.,The news also comes as the remains of Patrice Lumumba, the architect of Congo-Kinshasa’s independence and the country’s first leader, were returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Belgium, the former colonial ruler. Lumumba was assassinated by the US and Belgian governments in 1961 for his left-wing politics. His remains have been prepared for burial in Haut-Katanga for June 30, which is DR Congo’s independence day.。1月5日，乌克兰总统泽连斯基在一次采访中称，他希望参加特朗普就职典礼，前提是收到邀请。

三 | 泽连斯基还称，“说实话，我去不了，尤其是在战争时期，除非特朗普邀请我”。“我不确定我是否应该去，因为我知道，一般来说，出于某种原因，一些领导人通常不会被邀请参加美国总统的就职典礼。”泽连斯基称，“我不想打扰任何人，也不想给任何人添麻烦。这就是为什么如果他邀请我，我才会去。”据乌克兰《基辅独立报》等媒体此前报道，特朗普去年12月16日称，他没有邀请泽连斯基参加自己的就职典礼。特朗普当时还补充称，如果泽连斯基想参加，那么他可以来。编辑: 沈佩岚责编: 刘佳。
