skillet: This position is quite wrong. Althought those artifacts were made in africa, they do not belong to only africa. They belong to the world as they are now part of world history. Especially where the study of art history is concerned. Take for instance the benin bronzes. If they are returned to nigeria, the royal court of benin will claim them and lock them away, like their fore fathers did in the past. Those benin artifacts were created by slaves, who till today, are forbidden to own any. So bringing benin bronzes back to benin will fuel fetish worship again and dampen artistic mein of the people again. So, i painfully think its better the artifacts remain where they are becos we cant handle them. We dont even have facilities to preserve precious works of art.

Nuba is a collective term used here for the peoples who inhabit the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan state, in Sudan. Although the term is used to describe them as if they composed a single group, the Nuba are multiple distinct peoples and speak different languages.

onila: Khartoum

love the architecture

Khartoum was built mostly from the oil of South Sudan which was detaining at least 70% of the Sudan before getting split. The West has done everything to push South Sudan to get separated from Sudan just for the oil.Now,they ( Western countries) are not satisfied,they want to divide South Sudan again to make it more fragile in order to control more the oil resources.

but its a good thing they separated from Sudan's oppressive islamic militant, Omar al Bashir and his dictatorship!

ROSSIKE: Please don't come in here to type ignorant ''maybes''. The Africans SAILED to the Americas as free men in their own ships and of their own accord, and actually INTRODUCED civilization to the Americas, thousands of years before Columbus. So kindly stop typing ignorant poppycock about them being ''brought there as slaves''. Thanks.

OLAADEGBU: Where did the water come from?

onila: Kongou Falls, Gabon

Gabon is a central African country which has a population of less than 2 millions.But the resources are getting looted by French companies because they have put there a puppet by the name of Ali Bongo to "supervise" their "interests". More than 2/3 of Gabon is covered by forest and on top of that there is a large mineral deposits of manganese,ore(iron),beryllium,gold and also oil. But the majority of the population is poor thanks to France.
