Belgium promises the return of Congolese artifacts looted during its colonial rule

6/12/2021

Belgian officials have confirmed that thousands of looted objects acquired during the country's colonial rule will be turned over to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The decision was announced by Belgian state secretary Thomas Dermine, while visiting the country last month. It follows an initial promise that was announced in July.

"You have this missing link for the young generation in the Congo because, for some collections, everything is stored in Europe," Dermine told CGTN Europe.
