 Okay, I think we can start. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone, welcome to the Festival of Ideas event on heritage and repatriation. I just wanted to say hello to everyone. My name is Angelica Baskiera and I work at SOAS in the Centre and Institute of Office and I've been involved in the organisation of the festival. In particular, I have some research interests in Swahili manuscripts and I've done some work around the debate on heritage and repatriation. Therefore, I am very, very pleased to be here today to welcome our panellists and just to say this is the second panel on the topic of heritage and repatriation that we are hosting as part of the SOAS Festival of Ideas. The SOAS Festival of Ideas main theme is the colonising knowledge and as you probably know by now if you've been following the festival that started on Monday. So the big theme is heritage and repatriation, sorry, it's the colonising knowledge and then we would like to look at this very broad theme from different perspectives. And as you've seen from the programme of the festival there were a lot of different presentation and panels discussing this theme. Here we are looking at the angle of heritage and repatriation of our African artefact. In fact, as you probably know, the previous panel was looking also at Asia, especially Tibet. Today we are focusing on Africa. And we are looking in particular at two main projects that have been looking at this issue of heritage and repatriation. Therefore today it will be a discussion from a theoretical aspect and a debate but also looking at actual practitioner examples of how we can actually do repatriation and how we can really sort of move on from this topic that has been on the table for 30 years, 40 years, if you're looking at the repatriation of the Greek artefacts from the British Museum or Egypt. So it's a debate that's been there for a long time, it's not new. However, these two projects that we are discussing today are fairly recent and they are very interesting in their respect. I'm not going to take too much time because we have to go through four presentations and also a short animation. I'll introduce now the first speaker. The first speaker is Mr Onikachi Wang, the director of Afford. Afford is the Africa Foundation for Development. And today Onikachi, as well as Paul Asquit, also part of Afford. Both of them, they will talk to us about the flagship project in this area, which is called the Returns of the Icons. It's a very, very interesting and innovative project and so I will now pass the floor to Onikachi first and then that will be followed by Paul that will discuss the Return of the Icons. And then afterwards I will introduce the other two speakers that will be here today who are going to present about another project focusing on East Africa, called Mangimeli Remains Project. I am not going to say too much now because I want to give the floor to the speakers for them to tell us all about it. I have a few words to say that please put your question in the Q&A section of the Zoom, preferably not in the chat, and do feel free to start to put questions as we go in along as they come into your head. Write them down, put them in the Q&A box, and then we will reconvene after the presentations to have a discussion where I will pick the questions from there. So, we're not further due. Let me pass on to Mr Onikachi Wambu, Director of Afford, to start discussing their work on heritage and repatriation, in particular through the Returns of the Icons project. Thank you very much and Onikachi, the floor is yours. Thanks Angelica, thanks Angelica, and thanks for the invite today to discuss this really important issue. Paul, please stay on because I'm going to call on you to make the initial presentation about the Return of the Icons. So Paul, ask Ruth if you can come back on. Yes, so Return of the Icons is really a Ford's campaign to focus on restitution of African, looted African artifacts, and also the human remains that are in British cultural institutions. The looted artifacts have been expanding since we began the project. Last, earlier this week we had people who are concerned about the moving image from African, former African colonies and, you know, current filmmakers that are in British archives that they would like seen to see returned as well. The focus of it is expanding, but as the first thing that we did as part of the Return of the Icons project was to do a mapping which Paul asked with undertook for Ford. And so Paul will just give you a sense of the mapping initially. And also the key recommendations that came out and then I will follow up very quickly at the end with how we're taking forward the outcomes and recommendations from the mapping. So Paul, if you could just give us a digest of the mapping. Thank you very much on your catchy and good morning or good afternoon or even good evening to all of you who with us here today. It's a pleasure and an honor to be able to join this fascinating discussion. As on your catchy said, at a Ford we've been implementing this program called return of the icons, which has been looking at restitution of stolen African artifacts and human remains from UK cultural institutions, museums, and the barriers to achieving that. So this is a piece of research that we conducted between January and May of this year. And I think it's fair to say that certainly when we started out the research, we weren't expecting it to have quite as much poignancy and relevance as it went on to do, especially in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, and also the toppling of statues on both sides of the Atlantic. As part of this research projects, what we did is we spoke to diaspora communities and museum professionals. We surveyed 184 diaspora respondents about their attitudes to restoration of stolen African artifacts. We also conducted a number of focus group discussions, and we completed semi-structured interviews with 22 museum professionals and diaspora experts. Now, in terms of our main findings, well, predictably perhaps the overwhelming majority, nearly 80% of respondents from the diaspora felt that stolen African artifacts and human remains should be returned. Also interesting was that there was a very high level of engagement with diaspora respondents with museums or galleries. 40% have visited a museum or gallery in the last year, which was consistent with user engagement surveys from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport that they do each year. And what we found was that the processes for return of human remains are far better developed than for artifacts and that there are models of good practice that are already in use for return of human remains that could and should, in our view, be extended to stolen artifacts. And it's also important to stress that all the museum professionals we spoke to stress the need for their institutions to deal with remains and artifacts with dignity. And all of them also stated and prompted I should stress that they supported the decolonization agenda, which is of particular relevance to our discussion here today. What's interesting from our perspective was that the number of formal requests for return of artifacts was very limited. Some institutions had had very few if any requests, and link to this is that many institutions have not fully cataloged the African artifacts they hold. And which also identified principle barriers for return. And perhaps the obvious one to talk about is the legal restrictions on national collections that prevent them from returning stolen artifacts. But also interesting from our point of view and very relevant for a discussion here today is a gap in perception between diaspora communities and museum professionals, and the wider UK public on the issue of returns. So the recent Black Lives Matter protests and the toppling of statues suggest that perhaps this gap isn't quite so big. As many people thought it would be. The research identified that there were four main pathways for return, which only catch you will talk about how we're going to take those forward shortly, but they are changes in law through parliament. So we have a number of test cases to try and sort of challenge the existing legal restrictions, voluntary return agreements and other forms of return, such as revolving or long term loans. And that's a good thing. And then in terms of our recommendations, we developed quite a detailed list of 22 recommendations, I'm not going to talk through all of them now. But I think it's worthwhile to present, maybe four kind of areas of recommendation. One is that museums and other cultural institutions here in the UK need to catalog what they're holding. There's an awful lot of African artifacts that are sitting unloved and undisplated in basements. And it's an important first step for us that these institutions should know what they hold, because then there can be some discussions about what happens to those artifacts. Another kind of major recommendation from our side was that museums and other cultural institutions need to engage more actively with diaspora communities. You have their own connections, their own links to these artifacts. And there was a real interest for my diaspora respondents in, in that engagement. So it's about what schemes or pathways can museums and institutions create to enable that to happen. And I suppose the final area of recommendations I'd want to draw attention to which is more linked to UK government's foreign policy, which is about developing a slightly broader view of relations, particularly post Brexit with nations in the global south, especially for our purposes in Africa. And that cultural heritage should form part of those bilateral discussions. I mean we had some interesting discussions with the Ethiopian governments and the Ethiopian Embassy here in London, as well as with the Embassy of Benin in France about their experiences in this regard. And there is an increasing interest from African governments in bilateral diplomacy around these issues. And then a nutshell is our findings from the return of the icons program. I'm now going to hand over to Onikachi who will talk about how we propose to take those forward. Thank you. Thank you for we don't have a lot of time to enable others to give their presentations but I'll just focus very quickly on how we're taking forward some of this work. The diaspora professionals and others that we have engaged with are really keen on working with institutions to see how they can support return. There are two issues. One is getting this stuff or getting the principle of return acknowledged and beginning a process of return. There's another issue involved which is on the other side in terms of the African context ensuring that the cultural institutions there the museums and others are fit for purpose and can preserve and protect these valuable treasures when they are returned. So we want to put together a group of diaspora professionals that can help particularly improve conditions in Africa but also help with lobbying efforts in the in the UK. And as part of that afford is seeing itself as a kind of a network or facilitating a network of different campaigns. There's so many. There's a campaign that is trying to get the heads of diaspora heroes. The Zimbabwean heroes liberation heroes in the first war of independence in the late 19th century returned. Those heads are currently in boxes in an institution in the UK. There are other campaigns around the Benin bon bronzes the other content campaigns as for just mentioned around the Ethiopian artifacts that were looted after the McDonald incident in again in the 19th century, and then there are other these Egyptian campaign so we're trying to see the facilitator network that brings together all those campaigns so that they can share and learn from each other. And then we also looking at out of all those campaigns can we identify one that we can then proceed towards a test case to see what indeed the law thinks about having looted artifacts in the in the in these cultural archives I mean there was a test case that did lead to a change in the law so there was a precedent with Nazi looted artifacts that were discovered in the British Museum and the law was subsequently changed in the last 15 years to make sure that no looted artifacts can now be stored in any no looted Nazi artifacts could be stored in any UK cultural institution. And then we're looking at specific return items where the voluntary otherwise I mean for identified these four pathways. So there's the voluntary path and, and I know so as in this context has started talking about ways of initiating a humanitarian or return of Swahili and some other manuscripts, so we'd like to engage with institutions such as so as that are beginning the process of trying to return this and then, as I said ensuring that at both ends, the African these these artifacts can be preserved and protected and looked after once they are returned. So those are some of the ways that we're going to be taking forward those institutions but a vital vital importance is the partnerships that we are beginning to develop with African institutions on the ground so that you know that that process becomes seamless between the UK and Africa. And thank you very much on your catch and pull. In fact, I realize if you don't mind audience and further speakers I actually as a chair, I should have introduced a little bit more. The profile of on your catchy one when pull ask it so if you like to me I would like to say if you were retrospectively. And just to bear it just to let you know that you know the Africa Foundation for development is with the pioneering organization founded in the UK that was looking at the role of the diaspora. And it was funded I don't remember the exact year but it was sort of like, maybe late 80s something like that. 1994. 94. Okay, yeah, so I mean a long time ago. So just to bear in mind please do check out afford and the work they've been doing in relation to the African diaspora and is the impact on the continent because they've done a lot of different work in in many different areas. And this project on everything is one of the latest endeavor and on the catchy one boy has been a journalist. And for many, many years, and he was started off as a journalist and a television documentary maker one of the first again pioneering in bringing to the screen African history is also written widely on Africa the global diaspora. And, and also to say that he's a trustee of the African social justice platform for Hamu which is a very important platform. And so please do check them out and he's also a member of the London School of Economic Media and Communication Advisory Group, as well as a senior associate of the Foreign Policy Center, among other things. And, and, you know, there will be so much more to say about Onyikachi that I personally known for many years and I highly respect. And secondly, thank you. I'll just correct you the media group on the LSE is no longer functioning. Thank you. Thank you for very generous. You're welcome. And just a few words about Paul Askwit who is a colleague of Onyikachi born joined afford a few years ago from so as in fact Paul graduated from so as, and it was also is also research associate at the source of the African studies, and he has been doing on the diaspora again for many years and focusing on issues of migration development and engagement and with them on the continent and quite, you know, specifically so what I really like about afford is they are a diaspora organization but very much working on the continent and engaging in that area so do keep an eye on the return of the icons and because there will be a lot more interesting things coming up. And now we are moving on to another project about repatriation. It's very interesting the mangy mealy project. And we have here two members of the team. The team is a much larger is a team that combines members from the from Tanzania, obviously, from UK and Germany. And we, we were supposed to actually have here today as well represents from the Tanzanian team unfortunately they were not able to join us. But I understand that they will come in in the Q&A. So we can then hear from them at that point. I'll now briefly introduce as that court, our first speaker of the mangy mealy project as a specialist in African art and art education, and she's been teaching at source for many, many years. During the late 60s, she was a secondary school teacher of African history on manky manjaro, and she joined the auto and edited several of our volumes more recently, especially on Kenyan art world for critical interventions, a journal of African art and visual culture. In 2009, in 2019, she curated the Hassan Musa, the artist tank at the grenade gallery in Soas, where she taught African art for nearly three decades. And she was also consultant for many series, including the BBC, a recent series that hopefully you've seen African Renaissance, when art with power that was presented by Afua Hirosh, and then as that was one of the consultant on the program. Then the second participant from the mangy mealy project is a Conradin Kunze is joining us from Berlin, and he's been a, and he's going to show us an animation that he produced as part of the project. And Conradin is, he holds an MA in acting from the end of the Universal Music Drama and Media. And he was an actor for several years and now he moved on into documentary making any through Flynn Works, the company, he produced several projects dealing with the German colonial history. I won't say any more. I will let them tell us about the project. And then we now I give the floor to Elizabeth, and then we will have the short animation made by Conrad and then Conrad will come in to discuss the animation and the project as a whole. So, now, with no further due alphabet code, please welcome and, and then, yeah, the floor is yours. Right. Thank you very much. Welcome to everyone who's actually watching from all over the world. It's quite a wonderful experience. Idea just to think about our viewers. First I have like, can you hear me. Okay. Yes. Okay. First, I'd like to make a thank you a bit of a testimony. I'd like to thank Stephanie and Angelica for arranging and convening this panel, and to give special thanks to an Angelica for many, many years of joint ventures in pursuit of our mutual passions African art and Swahili language and civilization. I'd like to extend my deep gratitude to the program. So as decolonization on two levels, specific in general, specifically for a grant that enabled the July 2019 international in person workshop. The contemporary visual culture of Tanzania is as he means generations in key Swahili, and we were concerned with the connections between generations in art practices and critical studies. So in the effort to lessen the lacuna about Tanzanian contemporary and modern art, which hope in, especially in terms of the region where both Kenya and Uganda at this point are noted for their extra version. So more about the vis-a-vis-a-vis workshop. I have a blog under so as blog so as a the decolonizing so as I can send a link if anybody's interested in that. But what I'd like to emphasize here is just how odd I was by the presentation for Maggie Melly remains a multi dimensional collaborative heritage and art project that was inspired by the long, long lasting campaign for the return of Chaga Chief Melly's missing head to Tanzania for proper burial. It's been it's been a 50 year campaign by his grandson, which Conrad and we'll say more about the presenter was the co curator of the project. I'm Siri also whom I met it so as when she was doing her MA. And today she's preoccupied in a good diaspora way with Black History Month. There was also we saw at the time of the panel this little booklet. This is one of the documents, very precious document that Conrad and the team made. And I'll just show one page or two pages actually and you can see them. This way, drawing and photographs. And this was one of the things that was most exciting about the project is that it uses so many forms of visual information to communicate the story of Maggie Melly in German colonialism. So there's a booklet and a blog, and then more generally, my deep gratitude to the decolonization program because it offered me I'm quite an aged academic at this point and indeed retired from teaching. The opportunity, the mental space in which to revisit and reflect upon my professional life in which decolonization has been a recurrent theme. I did it with different, different labels, different labels in Tanzania. It was curriculum reform in Kenya it was revision of the school art syllabus with material culture, and I'm taking that as a newspaper headline in 1985, all that's left of that reform is actually drawing that's another story. While in London, it, the decolonization has taken the form of extending canons for art history, both Western and Africanist to create spaces for practices of contemporary artists, and with attention to artists led non formal learning and events. I'd like to say a few words about the terminology for our panel heritage, I think, really excited that this word is there, and I responding immediately to a Ford's notion that it should be dynamic to that it is dynamic to reimagine development as a cultural project. I use that's a paraphrase actually from basu and modest, the active presence of of the past in the present, and something based on heritance, the power to shape and current predispositions and visions for the future. I'm not very happy with that word, but I'm not so happy with repatriation because it's just so blunt, and it's concerned only with return to me, not to me but to the dictionary. It means the return of a person to their nation, repatriation. Conotes a very home office context within the UK. I prefer the word, which I think has a more elastic concept restitution, which afford is using in the root word for that is to set up as an act of restoring a memory context, and includes the return of something or it's equivalent. Sometimes maybe the skull doesn't matter so much, but it's the story that we need to focus on. Then art because I'm switching the conversation a bit into art practices, art in the context of this. So as festival has been enlightening to me because so many of the speakers have talked about alternative ways of learning that real advocacy towards ways of learning that are not text base. These of course are art and art is another way of knowing it involves expression has agency, it reaches places that page or screen of words cannot. It's an open context. There are many kinds of art making. So here in with the Maggie Melly remains, we're looking at a post modern research led site specific installation I had three different iterations to tell Melly story, and that of German East Africa, and it's by definition a transnational work. So let's move on to the exhibition I was. I was certainly odd as I've already said in July 2019 by Sirita's presentation so much so that when I was visiting my family in Kenya. Last winter, European winter. I took time in January 2020 to visit the site of wanky Melly remains, and I was humbled when visiting the project site at Old Moshe to Sony rural village in the foothills of Kilimanjaro about 20 minutes off the main road, very bumpy road it had been raining so it was also slippery. It was a real sense of adventure and actually getting there. It is a cultural landscape to use the language and nowadays for heritage, a column, a solemn site of remembrance. On the right is the Acacia tree, from which the German colonials hanged chief Melly, and I think 17 of his mates, and under the tree is a conventional portrait and to the left of the tree is the old courthouse in which the exhibition is installed in a white washed square room, you couldn't get more white cube and in terms of contemporary art minimalist modern. The walls are divided into three sections, life, death and thereafter with fascinating period photographs. I just actually very exciting to look at and certainly captivated the groups of students whom we brought into the exhibition for workshops. And in the center is the video sculptor, which I will leave for Conrad and to explain the complex at Old Moshe is managed by Gabby Mseo Rio head and founder of the Old Moshe cultural tourism. He has a selections of paintings in his office and the booklet that I showed you earlier is available there for sale we hope later to have copies here here meaning London for sale as well. The excellent arrangements for my visit were made by Gabby. I should just say I went with three, three of us went three old teachers from much army and Old Moshe school in the late 60s. And we really had that sort of time of our life it was extremely excellent visit I have been back before but they had not. Now let me relate very briefly, I can see my time is going to run out to MMR to the afford policy brief, and in particular to the four track approach, just one thing before I knock on. I'll show this last actually from what I understand the German institutions have actually changed their laws to force their institutions to be more cooperative. There are other aspects that are seeking to restore particularly human remains. But, however, in terms of the other aspects, in particular, whether or not symbolism is actually a good way to capture the restitution or not. Conrad wrote to me a few days ago, the story for the search for the head is a story of rejections and I noticed he's using the word head I sometimes use skull. It's a commentary return agreements and no symbolic acts. Mangi Melly remains a placeholder for Mangi Melly's head, rather than a symbolic restitution. It marks the wound, but does not heal it. And I'll just say that we, we have actually tried a bit with the Tanzanian diaspora here in London. This is the magazine or lovely journal that goes with the British Tanzania society with Mangi Melly on the cover and one of these photographs and also a three page article. We didn't, to my knowledge, have any responses. I think we need to try harder with the diaspora community here, and perhaps we can work with afford in that regard. So I think that's all I have to say, and I should pass to Conrad and the animation. So I turn off my mute. Thank you very much, Elizabeth, and we are now going to show a short animation. If you mind starting it, and then Conrad will come in after the animation. So here we go. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I just want to briefly say something about the project itself, how it came into being, and this is a long story. I tried to cut it short. Basically, Flynnworks is a theater company. I'm a theater practitioner. And more than 12 years ago, my partner and I, we were invited to Tanzania to conduct a workshop at the Goethe Institute in Dar es Salaam. It was a moment of shock for us because it was the first time that we really heard about our own colonial history, because it's not taught in schools in Germany. It changed a little today, but, but at that time we didn't hear anything about it. Out of that moment from shock and shame, we decided to make theater projects, and with some of the participants of the workshop. And one project which came into life much later was Magi Magi Flavor. And it was performance music, theater performance, Tanzanian, German mixed team about the Magi Magi war, and the different perceptions of history in Tanzania and Germany, and we performed it in both countries. And another project that came out of that actually out of the research was a project that was called Skal X or Schadel X in German. It's a very small project. It's a lecture performance done by me. And that focuses only on the topic of ancestral remains, like human remains from the colonial era in German collections or even in private households. And this was about two stories, real stories. One is that of a German person who kind of inherits a Skal from his great uncle, who was a missionary in Namibia. And that person tries to find out who Skal that was and tries to return it to Namibia and it's quite a journey and a challenge. And the other one was that of Mangi Meili and the search for his head. And I came across the story of Mangi Meili and the search more or less by accident on the internet on Facebook. I found an old article in newspaper, local newspaper article from Arusha about Isaria Meili trying to find the head of his grandfather. And so I told there and met him Isaria and he was very welcoming and friendly and open hearted. And he told the story. And we were allowed to record him on video so he became part of the this lecture performance and lecture performance also featured some other people were searching for the same head. And I come to that a little bit later. But this performance was mainly done in Germany, but we were able to perform it in Tanzania twice in Dar es Salaam and the Goethe Institute and on this occasion we invited of course Isaria Meili to be our honorable guest. And he brought with him Gabi Mzeoriu who is in the chat right now. I'm not sure if the internet connection is stable, but so young guy from from old Moshi, who is running this old Moshi cultural tourism enterprise. And after the performance they asked me so thank you Corridin for all this information that you gathered and found in archives and in Germany and pictures and so on. But how can we make that information available for the community of old Moshi. And that was and is a very valid question so I said okay, we really need to do something about this. It's not enough to tell the story in Germany. So this was basically the idea to create this exhibition and and this film, the film itself is was made for a video sculpture video installation. So the animation is actually projected onto a broken clay pot, and you can press several buttons for different languages. And the film that you have just seen is mainly a follow project just to make this animation available for festivals and later also for for public online. Just to spread the story a little bit further than old Moshi itself. But yeah, the reason that's the reason why we created Mange Mele remains and several things happened on the sidetrack here because it was not only the exhibition and it was also the memorial like a statue of Mange Mele that was created. It's now there under the tree where Mange Mele was hanged as Elspeth described and but apart from these, let's say artistic approaches. And also what we did is we joined forces to find the head of Mange Mele, which we didn't succeed until now. So, the exhibition is really a placeholder, and I hope one day we will manage and bring the head back to where it belongs. And this search, the quest for the head is really a long, long search done by different people, different individuals. It's not only Saria Mele, who is really an old man now in his 80s and his late 80s. And what he did is he tried to find it with his means that is talking to local authorities, to politicians in Tanzania to urge the German government to search for the head and bring it back. And what he manages in the year 2000, he could reach the German ambassador at that time. And the ambassador then replied to him, well, I have asked some museums and they said they don't have the skull, so we cannot help you any further. And so, Saria Mele tried to tell the story and there were several people that were really actually trying to help him find the skull, or the head in Germany. And then being a private lady, Christina Helbig, who heard the story and then tried to find it. And actually Christina Helbig then handed over all her research that she had done so far to me when she heard that I'm searching to. And he is another very important person. It's Miakasuru Rumboro, who is a Tanzanian, who lives in Berlin since the 70s, and he is an activist. And actually, Boro comes from a neighboring village of Old Moschi so he's not a direct descendant of Mange Mele, but he is. It's the same story. And his grandmother told him when he went to Germany to study. She told him, Well, if you go there you have to bring back the head of Mange Mele so it's also his lifelong quest to find it to locate it and find it and bring it back. And he again was rejected so many times in his life by institutions on his quest. He's not only searching for this head but he is a political activist in that sense that he urges these institutions to confront their colonial history and also to bring to give back artifacts and so on. And it's actually due to him and his organization Berlin Postcolonial and other NGOs and actors from the civil society in Germany that those institutions started slowly to move and to actually hand over some of these ancestral remains. And it's a long way back to their communities but it's really a long way to go. And he was, like, in the beginning he was always rejected saying no he's not a scientist so we cannot give you any information. He, he was rejected in several ways and actually these rejections are, as I see it, continuation of colonial violence that that happens today. But finally, now these huge skull collections or human remains collections in Berlin there with the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and what we found out is, we didn't find a document saying that, like a written document saying that the Mangimeli skull was sent to Berlin, but there is a direct link because there is this officer, this colonial officer, Moritz Merke, who was at the military station in Morsi, and we have proved that he sent several boxes of skeletons and skulls to Berlin to this museum, which is the ethnological museum to this person Felix von Lucian. And unfortunately, as some of these heads, they are lost there so they came into the collection, but they are not there anymore. And this has to do probably also with the history of the collection and World War Two, so some parts of the collection were destroyed also many documents were destroyed during World War Two. And it was relocated several times, and also during the GDR, some of the skulls disappeared. So it's until today unclear if the head of Mangimeli is still in the collection or not or where it is today. But what we managed to do is, we managed to invite Isaria Mele and Gabi to Berlin. So, in his late 80s, this Mzé boarded a plane for the first time, and then came to Berlin to speak at a conference and his voice was heard for the first time in Berlin. And on this occasion, I arranged a meeting with him and Bodo and the President of the Cultural Prussian Heritage Foundation. And on this occasion, they took a DNA sample of Isaria Mele and later they took also two other samples of families from the region, Kilimanjaro region, who are missing their ancestors. And they conducted some research, so they were looking into the collections, especially for the East, German East African collection of those heads and bones, and they couldn't find a match where I have to say they tested six of these skulls. And there are more that could have could have been tested. But they came to the conclusion that the head of Mangimeli remains is not in their collection, which is possible.
