Restorative justice key to Bawku peace – Inusah Fuseini

Inusah Fuseini, a former MP for Tamale Central, has spoken about the Bawku conflict. He urges stakeholders to recognize modern Ghana's realities. He believes restorative justice is key to achieving lasting peace.

Fuseini says we must acknowledge demographic changes and historical injustices. He emphasizes the need for a sustainable resolution that reflects current conditions. Clinging to outdated power structures will not help.

He noted that the Kusasis have significantly outnumbered the Mumprusis in Bawku. He compared this situation to when Ghanaians rejected British rule.

"There can only be one solution," he stated, "which is recognizing modern realities." He believes the Otumfuo should focus on restorative justice.

Fuseini also urged the Mamprusi community to consider concessions they might make. "What will they accept in place of Bawku?" he asked. The Mamprusis have held power for a long time and may need to adapt.
