Efforts to resolve the long-standing Bawku conflict have been temporarily postponed to next week, sources at the Manhyia Palace have revealed.
The peace process, being led by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was initially expected to take a major step forward on Monday, April 28. However, due to the complexities surrounding the chieftaincy dispute at the heart of the conflict, the scheduled resolution meetings have been delayed.
The Manhyia Palace is yet to officially announce a new date for the resumption of the mediation sessions.
Otumfuo’s involvement in the peace effort has been widely welcomed across the country, with many viewing his leadership as a potential turning point in bringing lasting peace and stability to the troubled region.
The mediation was originally set to run from April 28 to May 1 at the Manhyia Palace as part of broader national efforts to calm tensions in Bawku.
