The process is moving forward. The Malagasy committee in charge of repatriating the skull of King Toera and his two warriors, currently at the museum in Paris, met yesterday at Havoria Anosy in the presence of the Minister of Communication and Culture, Augustin Andriamananoro, as well as the descendants of King Toera. All documents related to King Toera are complete, and a first meeting with the French government is scheduled for May to establish a protocol agreement on museum issues.

The Minister of Culture in France has sent a letter to convene this first meeting on the repatriation of the skull of King Toera and his two warriors, as well as to discuss other cultural collaborations. The minister emphasized the importance of convincing the French government to repatriate the skull of King Toera, particularly regarding respect for human dignity. This week, the minister will travel to Belo sur Tsiribihina to meet with the Raiamandreny and seek their blessing for the production of a documentary film and to plan the location to host the skull of King Toera and his two warriors.
