[AfricaRealities.com] How Zimbabwe bones went to be hosted UK ?

 

Zimbabwe bones may be held in UK museum

The UK's Natural History Museum has said it may hold Zimbabwean human remains in its collection.

However, it could not confirm whether they were the "skulls of beheaded heroes" which President Robert Mugabe referred to earlier this week.

Zimbabwe's leader had demanded the return of those killed by the British in the late 1890s during the first uprising against colonial rule.

He made the remarks at the shrine to remember the country's war dead.

"We are told that skulls of our people, our leaders, are being displayed in a British museum and they are inviting us to repatriate them," he told the crowd.

"We will repatriate them, but with bitterness, questioning the rationale behind decapitating them."
