UK returns 32 looted gold, silver Asante treasures to Ghana on a six-year loan, originally stolen during 19th-century clashes. The artifacts, from the British Museum and V&A, will be exhibited in Kumasi's Manhyia Palace Museum during the king's silver jubilee celebration. This comes amid pressure on European and US institutions to address the restitution of African artifacts plundered during the colonial era.
