In 1897, Britain sent over 1,200 soldiers to destroy the Kingdom of Benin — one of the most advanced civilizations in pre-colonial Africa. They burned the capital to the ground, exiled the king, and looted an estimated 10,000 priceless artifacts including the world-famous Benin Bronzes. These weren't just works of art. They were the memory system of an entire civilization — court records, royal genealogies, and sacred ceremonial objects cast in bronze by master craftsmen whose guild had been perfecting their techniques for over 500 years.
Today, more than 900 of these stolen treasures sit in the British Museum alone. Thousands more are scattered across institutions in Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, and beyond. The British Museum still refuses to return a single piece, citing a 1963 law — while Germany, the Smithsonian, and dozens of other institutions have already begun sending them home.
This is the full story of how a kingdom that rivaled European capitals in size and sophistication was deliberately destroyed, its treasures stolen at gunpoint, and how the fight to bring them home is still being waged today.

TURN ON POST NOTIFICATIONS.
The video gives a brief description on the rites of passage in the olden days according to my culture. Through it, we learnt our responsibilities, rites and the consequences of non-compliance.
We were also taught how things were done and why we had or not do them. Respect was highly valued and we had to respect our elders so as to receive blessings from God.

Nyaoke is a Ja-Luo born in East Africa who is undertaking a post as a PHD researcher in the Seafarers International Research Centre, Cardiff. She gives us an insight into what it was like growing up as a Luo during the rise of the multiparty political system in Kenya, which was nurtured by her father, the late great Professor Ouma Muga.

La conférence de Berlin de 1884-1885 a inauguré ce qui est devenu le « nouvel impérialisme ». Alors que les premières vagues d'expansion européenne se sont concentrées sur les Amériques et l'Asie, la troisième s'est concentrée sur l'Afrique, largement ignorée depuis la conclusion de la traite négrière atlantique. En 1876, le roi Léopold II (1835-1909) de Belgique engagea Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) pour explorer et coloniser le bassin du fleuve Congo en Afrique équatoriale. Les revendications belges sur le Congo ont conduit à une « ruée vers l'Afrique » entre la France, l'Allemagne, la Grande-Bretagne et le Portugal, représentés à la Conférence. Ils cherchaient à réguler la concurrence coloniale en définissant « l'occupation effective » comme critère de reconnaissance des revendications territoriales – les colonies étaient reconnues si elles étaient effectivement possédées. La conférence de Berlin a reconstitué l'Afrique, divisant le continent en quelque 50 colonies différentes. Seuls l'Éthiopie et le Libéria sont restés indépendants. Le nouvel impérialisme a donné naissance à de nouvelles conceptions sociales du colonialisme, y compris l'idée de « civiliser » les Africains, comme décrit dans le poème de Rudyard Kipling « Le fardeau de l'homme blanc » (1899), bien que critiqué par d'autres comme Joseph Conrad dans Heart of Darkness ( 1899). Les puissances européennes ont essayé d'associer la domination coloniale aux objectifs de justice et de moralité, ce qui a permis à la domination sur les terres tropicales de devenir largement acceptée.

In the early 80's President Bohta was becoming paranoid about the growing unrest in the townships Project Coast was hatched to develop a biological and chemical warfare Program which would not only suppress the townships but act as a weapon in war. Project Coast involved 200 staff and cost one hundred million rand.
The Roodeplaat Research Base, 15 km north of Pretoria was the centre for the research. The labs were top secret and highly protected. Inside scientists were working on the ultimate chemical, biological weapon which would be small, undetectable and cause paralysis of the muscles or death. Dr. Goosen who headed the biological Program says 'the weapon Placed in the wrong hands could have killed millions'. However luckily the project was disbanded in the early 90's when power was handed over to Mandela.

SABC Special Assignment - 0778
Brazil is known worldwide for its large mixed race population due to centuries of intermigling between blacks, browns, whites, and indigenous people. While the country has long promoteditself as a place where races freely mix, Brazilians have also spoken about other sides and elements of the story. One other elemt that many have confirmed is the fear that many black Brazilian women have for having black children. Due to the violence and racism that black children suffer in Brazil, some women have expressed fear and even a desire to have whiter looking children so that their kids don't suffer the same way as they and other black kids do.
