This is why I'm not a fan of "correcting" history. What happened, happened. You cannot really correct it without breaking something elsewhere.

Returning this diamond isn't going to magically erase 200 years of colonial rule.

But it's going to give back a sense of pride and belonging to people to see their possession back in their hands
