The Bawku conflict, rooted in a protracted chieftaincy dispute between the Kusasi and Mamprusi ethnic groups, has resulted in recurrent violence in the Upper East Region.
Since the resurgence of violence in October 2024, at least 58 people have been killed.
The situation remains volatile, with combatants engaging in daily gun battles in Bawku township and along major routes like the Bawku-Bolgatanga-Tamale highway.
Despite interventions by security forces, peace remains elusive as armed groups continue to engage in violent confrontations.
