  • A gold medal stolen from Ethiopian war hero Prince Damtew by Italian colonial soldiers has been found at auction in Switzerland.
  • The medal, valued at 60,000 to 90,000 euros, was listed with provenance noting its connection to Damtew's execution in 1937.
  • A family member, Amaha Kassa, emphasizes that the family's goal is not personal ownership but to restore the medal to a museum in Ethiopia.
  • The incident has reignited discussions on cultural restitution across Africa, as nations seek the return of looted artifacts.
  • Despite unsuccessful auctioning, Kassa remains determined to reclaim the medal, viewing it as a vital piece of Ethiopian history and heritage.
