Italy agreed to return the obelisk in 1947 in a United Nations UN agreement, and it was finally returned in 2005. As of January 2007 the obelisk has not been erected in Ethiopia.

The original site of the obelisk is an unexcavated area that would be damaged by heavy machinery, if that were determined to be an appropriate method of erection.
