Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has weighed in on the longstanding Bawku conflict, urging stakeholders to embrace the realities of modern-day Ghana and pursue restorative justice as a pathway to lasting peace.
According to him, demographic shifts and historical injustices must be acknowledged and addressed if genuine reconciliation is to be achieved.
Fuseini emphasised that the focus should now be on finding a sustainable and just resolution that reflects current realities, rather than clinging to outdated power structures.
“A lot of things have happened. The Kusasis have grown big, and in Bawku, they have outnumbered the Mumprusis by far. Even as Ghanaians, when we were under British rule, a time came and we said enough is enough.
“There can only be one solution to this problem, which is a realization of the realities of modern-day Ghana and restorative justice. That is what the Otumfuo should be looking at,” he stated.
He also called on the Mamprusi community to consider what concessions they would be willing to make in light of the changes.
“What is it that the Mamprusis will accept in place of Bawku. Because for a long time they were keeping the reins, and they are going to lose out. So, what will they accept to let go,” he added.
Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, April 11, made a passionate appeal to the youth of Bawku, urging them to cease hostilities and embrace peace.
As an incentive, he announced plans to prioritise the youth of Bawku in the upcoming police recruitment.
