Too little too late. Why wouldn’t the laws just apply in Bawku? You refuse to punish people who violate the law in the name of politics. Why should it be tolerated to have a rival chief.

The leaders of this Nation should ask both parties to go to court so that the court can make a determination on the matter for the whole world to now know who is Right.

They don't need to go to court over this at all. The Mamprusi know very well that they are settlers and therefore know their roots in the Northern Region. The government must be firm about this and not tolerate the nonsense from them. They either live in Bawku peacefully or move to where they came from.

Settlement of this conflict is beyond Otumfuo's expertise. Those involved in the fight allowed politicians to influence their minds.Both NDC & NPP ate culprits but NDC did worse.

I just hope we will not have the Members of parliament from that envlave issue press conference to again complain about the military. These military that is bm sent there are leaving their families to go to backup to enforce the peace yet the MPs will ignore this fact and yet come after them as though these soldiers don't also value their life. I urge the MPs to rather urge the yourth to respect the authority of the state and NEVER to shoot at any military escorts or convoy. The shooting at the IGP's vehicle should never be repeated..NEVER!

With the NDC in power now, I had yhought that this conflict wouldn't escalate. Afterall, someone told the whole world that the Bawku conflict erupts anytime the NPP was in power! You see how unfare you have been.

Why is it so when ndc is in power? I thought peace would return to Bawku once npp gov't is out of power cos JDM said Bawku conflict flare up when npp comes to power. Now that ndc is in power why is it that the conflict is escalating? Why our leaders always read politics into everything? JDM used Bawku conflict to his advantage and got what he wanted, it's a matter of telling them that npp is in opposition now so they should shelf their guns. Only few days ago, they said the military had destroyed a statue in Bawku and so they called for withdrawal of the military. Instead of finding lasting solution to the conflict, politicians have turned it as a political ball and playing it to their advantage. No politician or a close relative of a politician has been killed only ordinary people are receiving the bullets. Why deploying military again?

The mamprusi and bawku areas don’t deserve any development due to their stupid war. Couple of days ago, the walewale residents were calling on the government to operationalized the watermelon factory that bawumia and his government build. According to the trade minister, it will cost the government about GHS38m to operationalized it. How will the government get money to do all these if so much is being channeled to military logistics in Bawku? I think that other tribes in the north must rise up against these two ethnic groups because money meant to develop other regions of the north are rather channeled for military operations in Bawku. The Bawku conflict is holding back all development in the north in its entirety. Dagarti, dagomba, Gonja and frafra must rise up to safe our north.

Can PEACE be enforced on people? For how long? How sustainable it is if the Military leaves ? I think absolute peace must be embraced by all. The area is vast, how many soldiers can be deployed there? Let the people rather accept and choose peace over killing of each other. Let no presidential candidate make empty statements bcos of power to amass personal wealth, enough is enough !!!

This is a good opportunity for our current government to deploy soldiers to the Bawku area to apply brute force in dealing with criminal elements. The impunity and stupidity up north have gotten to their crescendo. Our soldiers have been idling for so long. This is the time to display the field craft they were taught. They should be allowed to conduct searches, retrieve weapons and severely deal with stubborn ones. They must operate within two weeks with operational code live in peace or leave for peace. We can't continue to tolerate this kind of nonsense which is causing lives, property and resources. Our president must act now

Some of these towns in the north have become synonymous with conflict. Because when you hear Bawku then conflicts come to mind. What kind of human beings live up there? Isn't it a shame that all the time they're fighting and killing each other over absolutely nothing? What is land or property that's so valuable over human life? Ah, I'm sorry but aden, moagyimi gyimi anaa? I call on all the well meaning & the peace loving people among them to dissociate themselves from the few who stoke and fan the conflicts frequently. Also, I'd like to urge the military to not go there and allow some criminal to hurt them while they hold weapons like we sadly lost some police officers recently in similar operations. REMOVE anyone that'd put you in harm's way.
