Its not only where they got those guns. These are high powered rifles that should not be in the hands of individuals without the appropriate permits. We have to be very careful. This is dangerous.

I wonder why the authors decided to use a Bimbila-Tagged photo to post on a Bawku article. This is irresponsible journalism.

I agree with you. This journalist is insensitive. This picture has nothing to do with Bawku nor Bimbilla. His Editor should sanction him. As a Naatogmah he should know better. Shame, shame, shame.

It appears all activities in the Northern and Upper parts of Ghana are so embroiled along tribal lines anyone who wishes to take advantage of that can take them for a ride with adverse consequences.

Look at the NDC, they take the Northerners and Uppers vote for granted given that these areas obtain no meaningful developments to better the quality of life they have.

These tribal tensions have been going on for years now and yet the NDC government behaves as if everything is all right there. If anything, they seem to take advantage of theses tensions for cheap political gains at the expense of the people there.

Sooner these Northern and Upper tensions would spread and the NDC a party borne out of obsession for power for its own sake are responsible for that.

The sooner the Northerner and Upper vote on the basis of which party have the right programme for their welfare but on the basis of the leaders tribal line the sooner their plight will be iradicated.

Mr President, now that they have voted for you of tribalism, this is a time they need your help. Again, you should guide against what is going on in Nigeria. It is not far frm Ghana. With poverty, they can be deceived.

Are you saying that any shootings in bawku must be linked to the conflict? Armed robbers use weapons, there are gang rivalries etc. A victim of e.g Armed robbery may with a high probability be a Kusasi or Mamprusi. Let us give the police a chance to investigate so that we don't mar the peace we are all enjoying in Ghana.

I think this is not a good sign. Can we stop this fight? Northern Region has little resources and we rather need to protect the little and not fight to destroy them.

Issues like this should not be brought to the public but rather dealt with secretly since publishing this will fuel more distraction.

Why should we care. I don't care if they kill themselves. We can't waste our resources on these people. Allow them to do their worse after all what do we get from them?
