The United Kingdom has returned 32 gold and silver treasures stolen from the Asante Kingdom more than 150 years ago in what is today’s Ghana on a six-year loan, Ghanaian negotiators have said.

    1 John 4:3

     

    “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

  2. Unbelievable. The thief is 'loaning' stolen items back to the rightful owners. Imagine if I stole your car and then said I'll let you borrow it for a couple days. WTF??

  3. It's what the UK and US and Europe, in modern day, are doing to other countries – sanctions. If QE's crown was stolen and landed in a China museum and the Chinese told the Brits that the Chinese could loan the crown back to the Brits for 3 years renewable, I wonder how would the Brits feel? The UK, US and EU are the only countries where none of their national treasures were ever looted. Instead, all the countries which they colonise, they stole a whole load of stuff from them!

  4. They can never return anything that they still in Africa they can never return it when they will return it they are going to check their country down because this people they are stealing from Africa all the time😢😢😢😢

  5. Ask yourself, if they had remained in Ghana would they still exist? Does anything that was in Ghana 150 years ago still exist, other than what was taken and protected by outsiders?

  6. And we all know the greedy dictator running that place, can't wait to quickly and quietly sell those 'artefacts' to a collector on the international black market, for a couple million dollars, and then buy another lux penthouse in Paris for one of his kids.
