Senegal Artefacts: French PM returns historic sword during his visit to Dakar

France has temporarily returned a significant artefact to Senegal. The sword belonged to a 19th-century Senegalese Islamic scholar and ruler Omar Tall. It's been handed back to the West African country for a period of five years. It's part of the transfer of African cultural properties, under a pledge by French President Emmanuel Macron.
