Ghana in Focus Special: Britain loaning stolen Asante crown jewels, a good thing or a slap in the face

This week's edition of Ghana in Focus looks at the outrageous decision by Britain to 'loan' to the Asante nation, stolen Asante crown jewels.

We chronicle the history of how these precious crown jewels were stolen by the wicked British during the Asante-British wars of 1800-1904 where the main aim of the British was to steal the Asante Golden stool and subjugate the Asante.

We state how these Royal Asante crown jewels and other artefacts looted by these British criminals found their way to the British 'museum' and the Victoria and Albert 'museum' both in London.

It is also important to note that these artefacts are not just artefacts but are artefacts that have deep spiritual, cultural and traditional meaning for the Asante people, the Asante nation and the Asantehene (The Asante King).

We also state how the British created laws that essentially justifies their stealing of another's property to the extent that they now become the 'owners' of stolen property.

We end by stating this 'loan' agreement is an insult to the Asantehene, The Asante Nation, The Asante people and the people of Ghana and demand that Britain has a moral, ethical and spiritual obligation to return stolen property back to its rightful owner.
