The Bawku Saga

Shooting,wailing,killing and curfew has become the order of the day. Each day with it fresh incidents not so far from the existing.Bawku is gradually becoming the Somali of Ghana as all efforts to calm all nerves down is proving futile.

Recent developments in the Bawku municipality leave much to be desired since no lasting peace seems not to finding it way into that part of the country.I am strongly of the view that what Bawku is currently experiencing is obviously not to be taken with one hand in the pocket since the time for blame game as in who created the on going mess but with all urgency the mess should be fix.I therefore charge those in helm of affairs of this noble country of our fathers especially the security apparatus to make all maximum efforts to find lasting peace in Bawku.

Instead of waiting for crisis to ensue before calling for reinforcement,i suggest the security should ensure they always have more than reinforcement before another casualty.

In fact the situation is beyond what the minds eye can conceive since taking it mild will eventually take us by surprise.

I have no doubt that politics is being played into Bawku's woes and those doing that should know that lives of innocent Ghanaians are at stake.In as much as thy may be doing that for their cheap political gains someone some where is watching,be it divine or human.

What is going on at Somalia can not be replicated in Ghana! i know posterity will not allow that to happen but let us not forget the fact that a little drop of fire results into a lake of fire.Let us all be mindful of the fact that Ghana belongs to all of us not only a privilege few who have beg for our votes in other to use it to instigate and castigate us.

That part of the country is as vital as this part of the country.I mean the north is as important as the south and for once trying hard as i am not to be pessimistic, any thing can happen to the south as far as the crisis in the north is concern.My piece will not end without trying hard to find out what the indigents are doing it is said that you can forced a horse to the river but you can force it to drink water,if it is true then unless the people of Bawku decides to give peace a chance and smoke the peace pipe we all will continue to call for peace but it won't happen. A word to the wise can never be found in the south...........
