 The news agency Africa News reported the news yesterday Sunday and explained that the important historical heritage of Ghana that was in the United States was returned to the West African country on February 8, after more than 150 years had passed. Part of the heirlooms stolen by the British forces and stored in a museum in the United States is the Royal crown of 'Thank you' and precious masks that have now been returned to its original place - Manhyia Palace. Ghanaians have said that the return of those precious heritages will help in the process of healing the soul wounds caused by the colonialists; and promote the country's tourism. The colonialists apart from spilling the blood of Africans, but also plundered the resources of the continent Ghanaians are expecting more of the looted Western heritage to be returned to the country in the coming months, with most of the valuable items being returned to the Ashanti Kingdom. The return of part of the valuable heritage of Ghana has reopened a major diplomatic debate about treasures and valuable antiquities looted by colonialists in Africa. Many African countries have been wanting to return their heritage and ancient treasures looted by European colonialists during the colonial period. Experts hope that thousands of stolen historical heritages of the colonialists in Africa during the colonial era will be returned to their countries of origin.
