Mahama meets security chiefs ahead of crucial visit to Bawku

President John Dramani Mahama has met with security chiefs to strategize ahead of his visit to Bawku, an area plagued by decades-long ethnic conflict between the Kusasi and Mamprusi groups.

Though the details of his visit remain under wraps, it aligns with his campaign pledge to prioritize resolving the conflict.

Bawku has endured significant turmoil due to land disputes, with recent violence claiming at least 41 lives, displacing many, and forcing schools and businesses to shut down.

Mahama’s intervention is viewed as a pivotal step toward restoring peace and stability to the community, where fear and uncertainty have disrupted socioeconomic progress.
