Toera's homecoming: Madagascar's slain king joins his ancestors after 129 years • FRANCE 24

In 1897, French colonial troops killed King Toera, ruler of Madagascar's powerful Sakalava kingdom of Menabe, and took his skull to Paris, where it remained hidden in a museum for more than a century. France returned the remains last year, and for the first time since his death, King Toera took his place among his ancestors during the Sakalava people's most sacred ritual. #Madagascar #Africa #KingToera 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
