France has returned the sacred Djidji Ayokwe talking drum to Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 after 110 years. Colonial troops took it in 1916 from the Ébrié people. The drum, over 3 meters long and weighing 430kg, is a powerful symbol of communication, unity, and resistance. The historic artifact will soon be displayed in a new museum in Abidjan, allowing Ivorians to reconnect with this important part of their heritage.
