A historic artifact is set to return to its ancestral home after over a century of absence. The 'talking drum', a revered and culturally significant instrument from Ivory Coast, is being repatriated to its village of origin, marking a significant moment in the country's cultural heritage. The drum, which was once used to convey messages and stories through rhythmic beats, has been in the possession of a French museum since its removal in the early 20th century. Its return is expected to be met with great enthusiasm and is seen as a symbol of reconciliation between Ivory Coast and its colonial past.
