 Guinea asks France to return resistance figure's skull

Guinea is asking France to return several skulls and the personal items of various historical figures who fought against colonisation in the 19th century, the Ministry of Culture told AFP.


The restitution requests were submitted in mid-July and include the skull of Boubacar Biro Barry, the last leader of Fouta-Djalon, located in modern-day Guinea.


Barry and three others – his son, brother and his war chief – were beheaded in 1896 following a battle against the French. Guinea is asking for all four skulls back.


It has also requested the return of manuscripts and other objects belonging to Samory Toure, a warrior-preacher who took up Islam, battling French colonial forces to establish an empire of his own.


'Rest with dignity'


Apart from manuscripts, Guinea is requesting Toure's sabre, headdress, and boubou tunic, Amirou Conte, director of the Ministry of Culture's National Museum of Conakry, told AFP.


"The Guinean state will take all necessary steps to secure the return" of Barry and his companions' remains "so that they may rest with dignity in the land of their ancestors", Guinean Minister of Culture Moussa Moise Sylla said.
