What exactly would the Africans do with any items returned? It's not like they have an museum tradition.

Sooo... just another shakedown attempt along the lines of “shame and collect”.

Well, the Elgin Marbles perhaps. Would you want to see them returned to Greece? I wouldn’t/. The is a good chance they would be destroyed. How about the massive amounts of Egyptian antiquities stolen by lots of people. I would not wAnt them returned to Egypt.

Just look at what the Muslims have done to Syria’s heritage in the last few years. They turned it to dust since they are so easily offended due to Mohammed restrictions.

BTW, George Clooney wife is in charge of wresting the Elgin Marbles from Britain ... even though Greece is terribly unstable. Absolutely priceless!!! She willl get them as she is so popular these days. What a travesty!!!

The exception being Alexandria. But that was a Greek city.
