President John Dramani Mahama has made a heartfelt appeal to residents of Bawku and its surrounding areas to put an end to the long-standing conflict that has troubled the region for years.
Addressing the nation at Ghana's 68th Independence Day parade at the Jubilee House on Thursday, March 6, 2025, President Mahama stressed that the time for peace in Bawku is now, urging all factions to work toward reconciliation.
He lamented the devastating impact of the conflict on the younger generation, who, he said, deserve to grow up in a peaceful and stable environment, rather than one defined by violence and destruction. "To the people of Bawku and other affected areas, it is time for lasting peace to prevail.
Our children deserve to inherit a peaceful land where their minds are nurtured, not where their nightmares are relived," he stated.
