Switzerland has returned 23 stolen Benin Kingdom artifacts back to Nigeria.This followed the return of similar stolen artifacts from countries such as France,Britain and Germany.Ironically,when the Western Media and the international NGOs are listing countries with criminal records,they ignore this part of history.
Take any population on earth.
For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.
Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.
Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.
Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.
When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.
Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.
Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.
Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.
Put the results on a map.
Call the map a "nature documentary."
Tell yourself the scores show something biological.
Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.
Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.
You did not follow the evidence.
You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.
And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.

The children back into the hallway.
I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.
Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.
When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.
Anyway, that's Western migration policy.
“You’re a witch doctor, and you said you cursed Harry Kane. No, you can’t, because my powers are stronger than yours. You are cancelled. You won’t be able to do anything.”
— Before England and Ghana’s World Cup match, Israeli-British illusionist, magician, and self-proclaimed psychic Uri Geller claimed he was more powerful than Nana Kwaku Bonsam and insisted he had neutralized the Ghanaian spiritualist’s alleged curse on Harry Kane.
