Subject: British Museum returns African treasures for Kenyan exhibition

The question is why only "some" treasures are being returned?  Why not all?
Why only for the exhibition and not permanently?  What about all the
colonial records and files????

Questions, questions.

British Museum returns African treasures for Kenyan exhibition

In a groundbreaking deal which could resolve decades of bickering over
'Britain's

colonial plundering', the British Museum is returning some treasures from
its

eastern Africa collections, back to Africa, for a special exhibition which
will open

in Nairobi in the Spring.
