The East African nation Welcomes Historic Items After a 100-Year Holding in Germany
A total of 12 cultural items were officially given back to Ethiopia following staying by a family in Germany for more than ten decades.
The treasures, originally collected in the 1920s by Germany's diplomat to Ethiopia Franz Weiss and his wife his partner, were delivered on midweek to the research center at the capital's university.
This set included headpieces, shields and canvases, each considered as historically valuable in the country.
"The artefacts still represent a symbol of the lasting and positive ties between the German nation and the Ethiopian people," stated Germany's envoy, Germany's ambassador to Ethiopia.
Dr. a professor, whose parent was delivered during the household's service in Ethiopia, delivered the artefacts at a event attended by Tourism Minister the tourism official.
He stated that the household's aim to give back the artefacts was to "showcase their splendor with the audience and safeguard the culture and past linked to my father's origin."
These items were either donations or acquisitions, based on the relatives.
"We would like to thank Professor Weiss's household for concretely expressing their profound affection for Ethiopia by carefully preserving these artifacts and crucially ensuring their return to their rightful homeland," said the tourism minister.
The minister continued that the pieces would in the near future be opened to the general audience for research and academic study, calling the action a significant step in protecting the nation's historical legacy.
"Initiatives are ongoing to bring back ancient items that are located in the possession of individuals and institutions around the world," she stated.
During colonial rule in Africa, many of traditional items were looted.
This request by African countries for the return of stolen artefacts has been answered with a degree of positive outcomes in lately - although some items are only on loan.
In the year 2022, the German government was the first nation to repatriate a selection of the famous Benin artifacts to Nigeria in an attempt to confront its "troubled past."
