Hawass as a role model?

Ghana News

A short piece suggesting that the Hawass approach to artefact repatriation might benefit other African countries:

We may not all agree with Zahi Hawass (http://www.guardians.net/hawass/) in his style and manner of approach to the issue of restitution of stolen or looted artefacts but there is no denying that the famous Egyptologist, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt, has been extremely effective in his tasks and knows his job. This is no mean feat in a period where some of those having the fate of millions in their hands do not seem to have mastered their jobs.
