i could you know and you are welcome to the program there's a cloud africa stretches now think about this for a 2nd if we want to look at many of our works and sacred objects we have to make a long journey because many of our. throughout museums in europe a year ago french president. promised. just a bend in these royal statues those looted by french colonial forces that been in ones back but not much has happened yet micron's announcement was triggered by a report he had commissioned on the restitution of africa's freshest we'll talk to one of the report's authors in a moment but what are people seeing on the continent. high and african art on

display in a museum in africa something that is fairly unusual as many of africa's masterpieces are holliston europe cynicus museum of black civilisations and decca is an exception like many on the continent the museum's director wants to change. things have been stolen africans are not going to ask to strip european museums their works there that are perhaps a very valuable for these works have to be returned to the communities to which they belong as a part. in 2018 french president eminem akong rocked the museum would when he promised to return 26 where the statues and thrones looted from the kingdom of stone may today been there some of the 5000 objects the country has requested returned from france the process of restitution is proving long and complicated france menaced assam balik 1st step last month when it gave this famous saber the weapon originally belonged to the roof religious leader and he's slamming school or

. something africa doesn't have the museums to care for the cultural heritage themselves museum director who khun refutes this. when we take them back assuming that we reach an agreement with all parties both the authorities and the communities we can do whatever we want we could store them in the museums we could showcase them or return them to the sacred forest people might even decide we don't want them to do i don't think anybody should tell us what to do with these objects. thing africans also want to reconnect with their past. too to do all this history takes us back to our ancestors the black people it really portrays another picture this is our story you know. kid what a swell. istari they want to be told in their own countries and on their own terms

my colleague christine milne spoke with selwyn's easy senegalese economist and a co-author of a report on african held in france when i was released the year ago the report shook up the arts world but its recommendation that france should return vast numbers of objects to african countries stop request them something friends then promised it would start doing. dr saw france has paid to return african artifacts by the get 2020 c. are you satisfied with the progress. political point of view and what have been gone is very few. france has promised to receive shoot artifacts from the 1000000000 republic just asked to do what to give the report to the french president we discussed with him one hour and a half and indeed in this discussion he said to start the process of course it's driven by the true can do do did after facts but until now i don't have no doubt

they have made little progress because they have said to to what to do it's do. we have say that the government took over yeah it's right to to host the artifacts because they need to bring in infrastructure etc on that point a lot of people who are opposed to the race issue should make a point or you want that africans would be able to look after the artifacts what do you make of that it's a very bad arguments what will the 1st thing we've done is that we have made an offer. a can of statistics of african musicians under this hour we found 500 museums in sub-saharan african lure was surprised by the number of museums you have some countries like south africa nigeria kenyan that they have between 30 and. 50 museums and if you look at the number of objects that the african director of museum wants in

the short terms you have more of. if national to to cause them right and the question is a true question because the question is not the question of the museum were taken in museum they were taken to the house in spiritual spaces it will in a lot of places in the in kingdoms strike the truck and we have trouble across africa. to some way in 5 countries to see what would the local infrastructure in been right in cameroon in mali and some of it they can go in the museum they can come back in the communities do they can go to school and they were taken from us just to become universal the ecology is the place where you can host the mirrors in africa right. we have the the format a you invested it to the he stops her. and she's been trending on social media we

see that softer talking about how former colonial powers followed some particular continue to pillage africa 2 years ago was is that a fair representation of how things are at present i think it's just i think you just because. all the trust national companies that are in you know country is you know france germany etc etc contributor they have a lot of as much power relationship i was the it's a muslim it is our eye which states and when the negotiates contracts on or on guys and maybe in the middle. part can you know to to be european companies and you know and this was back into the africans and it's a it's a question that is very complex and because this question is within the how these regimes were elected are they are here for good for the interests of the middle african or for their just for the group. i'm going to or not

and it's kind of you know it's kind of rude questions because you know he was produced from afghan society. the good leadership there is very strong to be able to negotiate in his own interests and to fight again. despite what's between nation and they must be supported by the strong with the society but to have a strong team society you have to nurture it you have to educate people to have a free space and it's a kind of you know that brings me to my next question do you think that former colonial powers still feel that they are superior to africans often with these imaginary of superiority of control spirity there is. in the society that is taught in how the series towards is how they represent themselves how they who present their culture and in their knowledge their civilization and there's a walk to do there to show that you know it's kind of it's about do give of the

reality of lose each see resolution to the global and the human civilizations in these imaginary of the imperial imaginaries that is long lasting there is now you know in not in all people but you know in you know in this piece is also it was. a problem that thank you continue very much. now for money and their livestock have traversed west africa's our it's our region for centuries never have been searched for grazing land and water systems are settled farmers in the past are full of these knowledge of the land and the whole carried ever through drought spots these days climate change of course in the sun helps to dry out rapidly threatening their lifestyle. but a little bit more traditional full lonny people tending to cattle is

a way of life across the. planes of new full army drive the animals across ancient trails in search of water and pastures but these days keeping their livestock well watered he's an increasingly difficult task. during the dry season we always have a water problem it rained earlier this year so the ponds and watering holes were full but the drought came back the watering holes dried up and we had to come back to this well to water the animals. no matter how fatherhood is rome they face the same problem as it is swallowing up vast tracts of pasta land each year some for lani are considering stopping a lifestyle that their people have maintained for centuries. i don't think we can carry on breeding anymore with climate change things are becoming more complicated for us not to mention what will happen for the generations to come.

as well as the spreading desert conflict with farmers over land has also slashed livestock numbers as a result many full arnie's are settling in urban areas in the hope of finding work for this herder turned god moving to town hasn't brought to security he hopes wages are low and he has many miles to feed we've had a number of problems in the city we sometimes i struggle to eat unlike when we lived in the bush with the animals in a city. that doesn't even cover own needs. main livestock union is running programs like this dairy farm to help me who have given up herding cattle. is one of the 300 women who make cheese and yogurt here. before. i left in order to

help my fam. after several tries realized it wasn't earning enough money that is why except as a chop in the dairy farm. from across the sahara will have gathered for the. festival. ceremonial clothing. makeup and things to seduce their wives c. but when the festivities draw to a close the lead the hoods back into the sahara and an uncertain future. for now from africa you can catch all our stories of our web sites on facebook page . by for now.
