歐洲博物館的很多文物是從非洲搶來的，非洲想要回去

Restitution and repatriation of sub-Saharan African art and cultural heritage in museums and private collections is an area of increasing global focus and debate.
博物館和私人收藏品中涉及撒哈拉以南非洲藝術和文化遺產的藝術品的歸還問題引發越來越多的全球關注和爭議。
Many of these works are in Western museums and were acquired by European countries from their former colonies particularly through armed pillage, military expeditions, missionary collections, and/or taken without sufficient documentation of consent or adequate compensation. Racist attitudes that underpinned colonialism have, for the most part, not changed, and this makes the debate contentious.
這些藝術品中有很多保存在西方博物館中，是歐洲國家從曾經的殖民地得來的，尤其利用的是武裝掠奪、軍事遠征、傳教士收集等手段，和/或未經正式批准或提供適當補償就奪走了。支持殖民主義的種族主義態度在很大程度上沒有改變，因此爭議不斷。
In November 2018, president Emmanuel Macron asked for a groundbreaking 258-page report during his tenure on the restitution of African art (The Sarr-Savoy Report), since major museums in the United Kingdom and France (the two major colonial powers) were not addressing the issue.
2018年11月份，埃馬紐埃爾·馬克龍總統破天荒地要求在他的任期內起草一份258頁的關於歸還非洲藝術品的報告（Sarr-Savoy報告），因爲英國和法國（兩個主要殖民國家）的大博物館都沒有解決這一問題。
The report was a positive step in the right direction; it is the first time a European leader acknowledged there was something wrong with Western institutions holding plundered works hostage.
這篇報告是朝着正確方向邁出的積極一步，這是歐洲領導人首次承認西方有關部門扣留掠奪來的藝術品的行爲不妥。
However, little concrete action has been taken since by France or the international museum sector since the report’s release.
但是，報告公佈以後，法國或者國際博物館部門還沒有切實的行動。
Macron promised to return objects looted from their African homelands, starting with 26 artifacts from the Kingdom of Dahomey, now Republic of Benin, taken by colonial military leader Alfred Amédée Dodds in 1890.
馬克龍承諾歸還從非洲掠奪來的藝術品，要先歸還從阿波美王國，即現在的貝寧共和國，掠奪來的26件史前古器物，這些是在1890年被殖民軍事領袖陶德將軍拿走的。
However, they have still not been sent back.
但是，至今還沒有送還。
The French culture minister reportedly asked heritage professionals at a recent symposium in Paris “not to focus on the sole issue of restitution”, but to instead emphasize cultural cooperation with Africa.
據說法國文化部長最近在巴黎召開的研討會上要求遺產專家“不要只關注歸還的問題”，而要重視與非洲進行文化合作的問題。
