UNESCO’s International Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development (2027–2036) is a powerful recognition: culture belongs at the heart of development. Now comes the real test—action, investment and accountability. Culture is infrastructure for resilient, inclusive and peaceful societies.

Behind these figures are communities whose heritage has endured conflict, loss and neglect. Recovery must include their cultural memory, sacred spaces and traditions. We call on partners to support community-led recovery and help protect what remains before more is lost.

When push comes to shove on restitution, communities act. Years of advocacy can meet political hesitation, institutional delays and bureaucratic barriers. Restitution must not remain a promise—it must deliver justice, dignity and cultural ownership back to the communities.

The evidence speaks for itself. The ruins of the conflict tell a story of heritage under attack. Palaces, sacred spaces and cultural objects cannot wait. We call on international partners to support urgent action to protect Cameroon’s heritage before more is lost.

We continue to raise the alarm: Cameroon’s cultural heritage is under attack in the North West and South West regions. Palaces, sacred sites, cultural objects and living traditions face destruction amid conflict. We call on partners to join us in preventing this irreversible loss.

Tomorrow makes exactly four years since the decision to return Ngonnso was issued, yet Ngonnso is not back home. Failed promises, and a people in pain, yet the responsible institutions bask in the failure of it. Powerful article reflection here below zc.vg/mwWEp?m=0

The cultural belongings of the Nso community taken under colonial violence, remain vital to Nso identity and memory. At our recent workshop in Germany, Dr Bulami reminded us that heritage is not “objects”, it is a living tradition. #NsoHeritage #Restitution #DecolonizeMuseums #CulturalJustice

Martin Dibobe was born in Douala in 1876. At 20, he was displayed in a human zoo in Berlin. But he defied racism, becoming the first Black train driver in Germany. His love story challenged prejudice. In 1922. His story lives on as a symbol of courage and resistance. #BlackHistory #Resilience

Colonial legacies still shape our world fueling inequality and erasing cultures. True justice means not only remembering the past but building an inclusive future. Rising calls for restitution and reparations remind us: healing requires accountability. #Justice #GlobalCommunity #Reparations

The return of looted cultural heritages is a vital step in addressing colonial injustices. Yet, restitution alone is not enough. It must serve as the beginning of a new ethical relationship between former colonizers and affected communities, one built on respect, dialogue, and shared responsibility.

It is unacceptable that the restitution of Ngonnso, a sacred symbol of dignity and identity for the Nso people, continues to be delayed. ✊🏿Every additional day of inaction reinforces a history of injustice that should have ended long ago. The world is watching, and accountability matters.
