On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Steve Killelea, founder of the Institute for Economics & Peace, about the Global Peace Index 2021 report. He discusses the deterioration of peace through the coronavirus pandemic, the increase of violent mass demonstrations against inequality and racial discrimination, the most violent countries in the world being in Latin America, and much more! Finally, we speak to Barnaby Phillips, author of ‘Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes’, about a colonial-era theft of some of the most awe-inspiring art in Africa from modern-day Nigeria. Phillips discusses the ongoing battle for formerly colonised countries to get their national treasures back from colonial powers.
