The recent increase in violence in Bawku and other impacted areas has prompted the Ghanaian government to shift its strategy from peacekeeping to peace enforcement, as it may jeopardize the peacebuilding effort.
In order to protect public safety, we have tightened curfews and deployed the Ghana Armed Forces to uphold law and order.
We guarantee that the Ghanaian Armed Forces would take all necessary precautions to safeguard people and property.
His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is commended by the government for mediating the dispute, and all parties involved in the peace process are valued.
With the sincere assistance of Nayiri and Zugraana, the Otumfuo mediation had nearly brought the dispute to a close until the most recent killings, which have forced severe measures to protect everyone for the sake of the greater good.
All parties are urged by the government to support the peace process and abstain from violence. It is suggested that in order to maintain peace, residents work closely with the Ghanaian military.
As it works to restore peace and stability in Bawku and other affected areas, the Ghanaian government is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of all residents, including students, while also expressing regret for any inconvenience this peace enforcement intervention may cause to peace-loving citizens in the affected areas.
