As many as 300,000 Africans were killed in Germany’s suppression of the uprising.,In May, the museum announced it was sending 23 stolen artifacts to Namibia on long-term loan, but was not returning them outright.

However, even in Europe, much of the art pillaged by the Nazis in their continent-spanning wars in the 1930s and 1940s also has not been returned and continues to be traded.,The news also comes as the remains of Patrice Lumumba, the architect of Congo-Kinshasa’s independence and the country’s first leader, were returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Belgium, the former colonial ruler. Lumumba was assassinated by the US and Belgian governments in 1961 for his left-wing politics. His remains have been prepared for burial in Haut-Katanga for June 30, which is DR Congo’s independence day.。    　　当地时间23日，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书雷扎伊表示，如果美国对伊朗继续发动经济战，则没有石油会通过霍尔木兹海峡乃至波斯湾地区出口。伊朗将把任何国家参与或支持美国对伊朗人民发动的经济战视为战争行为。　　当地时间8月19日，美国总统特朗普在其社交媒体平台“真实社交”发文称，伊朗未能抓住达成协议的机会，因此他宣布对伊朗采取“针对任何国家实施过的最严厉经济行动”，称这将是一场规模空前的“经济战和经济孤立”。（文章来源：央视新闻客户端）。
