Bawku Conflict Mediation: Otumfuo Makes Decision Today

Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is expected to make a pronouncement on his Bawku mediation today.

The decision is anticipated to bring lasting peace to the troubled area.

Representatives of the Kusasi and Mamprusi factions arrived in Kumasi on Sunday in readiness for the final sessions.

While Manhyia Palace has not released details of the event, the Asantehene is expected to preside over the deliberations.

Background

Otumfuo’s legacy as a peacemaker, has seen him serving as the sole mediator in the Bawku chieftaincy conflict.

This conflict has led to cycles of violence, loss of life, and displacement, but Otumfuo is regarded as a neutral and respected figure capable of mediating between the feuding factions without political bias.
