France's parliament Monday approved returning to Ivory Coast a "talking drum" that colonial troops took from the Ebrie tribe in 1916, in the latest greenlight to the repatriation of colonial spoils.
France's parliament Monday approved returning to Ivory Coast a "talking drum" that colonial troops took from the Ebrie tribe in 1916, in the latest greenlight to the repatriation of colonial spoils.
The Djidji Ayokwe drum is a communication tool more than three metres long and weighing 430 kilos that was once used to transmit messages between different areas, for example to warn others of a forced recruitment drive. The lower house of the French parliament approved separating out the artefact from national museum collections to enable its return, after the upper-house Senate backed the move in April.
In 2018, Ivory Coast officially asked Paris to return 148 works of art taken during the colonial period, including the Djidji Ayokwe. President Emmanuel Macron promised to send the drum and other artefacts back home to the West African country in 2021.

Residents were advised not to walk pets near the creek, play, swim, or bathe for extended periods. Fishermen and prawn catchers were also urged to stay alert for crocodiles. Bushes, trees, or grass grown near the banks should be cleaned as crocodiles may hide there and not to scare or attack the crocodile with sticks and stones. — Moe Sett (Bokale)/KTZH

REBECCA Atkins, a 25-yearold law and justice graduate, faced significant challenges in her job search, submitting over 250 applications over two years without success.
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates in the US has reached 5.8 per cent, the highest since November 2013, excluding the pandemic period.
REBECCA Atkins, a 25-yearold law and justice graduate, faced significant challenges in her job search, submitting over 250 applications over two years without success.
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates in the US has reached 5.8 per cent, the highest since November 2013, excluding the pandemic period.
This rate remains higher than the overall unemployment rate, which has stabilized between 3.5 per cent and 4 per cent post-pandemic. The labor market for new graduates has weakened since 2022, with hiring down 16 per cent year-over-year, particularly in sectors like technology and finance.
Analysts attribute this trend to cyclical post-pandemic hiring slowdowns and economic uncertainty, exacerbated by policy changes during the Trump administration. Many entry-level jobs now require several years of experience, leaving graduates like Atkins feeling inadequate. Job openings in professional services have declined by over 40 per cent since 2021, with the tech sector particularly affected. Additionally, the rising influence of artificial intelligence may threaten entry-level positions. — AFP
