 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

ETHIOPIAN EMPEROR'S LOOTED SHIELD RETURNED AFTER 156 YEARS IN UK. (PHOTOS).


 Ethiopian emperor's looted shield returned after 156 years in UK


The shield of Emperor Tewodros II, an artifact looted from Ethiopia during the 1868 Magdala War between Ethiopia and the UK, has returned to its homeland from the UK after 156 years, local media reported Friday.


The ceremonial handover was attended by officials from the Ethiopian Heritage Protection Authority and descendants of veterans who fought in the Magdala War, according to the state-owned Ethiopian Press Agency.


Through efforts by the Royal Ethiopian Trust (RET), the shield was reclaimed after negotiations with the UK-based auction house Anderson & Garland.


The shield had been slated for public auction in February but was withdrawn following pressure from the Ethiopian government, marking a significant achievement in Ethiopia’s campaign to recover its cultural heritage.


The Battle of Magdala, the final confrontation of the British Expedition to Abyssinia, was fought in April 1868 between British forces led by Robert Napier and Abyssinian forces under Emperor Tewodros II.


Following his defeat, Emperor Tewodros II took his own life, and his son, Prince Alemayehu, was taken to Britain, where he died in 1879 at age 18.


British forces seized numerous Ethiopian artifacts during the battle, including ceremonial items and religious symbols.
