Zimbabwe presses for repatriation of skulls from Britain
The Associated Press reports about Zimbabwe's initiated repatriation process of skulls of people who were killed in an anti-colonialism war during the 1890s. According to Zimbabwe's Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo and President Robert Mugabe these skulls are currently held by Britain's Natural History Museum.
"Mugabe said the skulls are of veterans of an uprising against British colonizers. Known as the First Chimurenga, or First Liberation War, the 1893-1896 war pitted locals using spears and bows and arrows against white settlers with guns."
