Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has observed that Bawku, in the Upper East Region, is currently experiencing a period of relative peace as a result of recent mediation efforts in the ongoing crisis.

The conflicting Kusasi and Mamprusi factions met with the Asantehene, who led the peace negotiations, between April 28 and April 30. The talks were then briefly paused.

During a meeting on Monday, May 12, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace with the Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, Otumfuo stated that the mediation process would soon resume.

“We are still on the matter, and we will meet again to address the issues. We are not done yet. But the little we have done has brought some calm to the area. We will brief you and Ghanaians soon,” he was quoted as saying by citinewsroom.com.
