Senior Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has declared that the ongoing crisis in Bawku has escalated beyond the scope of mediation and policing, calling for military intervention to restore peace.
Speaking on Joy News, Kofi Bentil emphasized that the situation has reached a "war-like" state, requiring decisive action from the Ghana Army.
Bentil argued that negotiation becomes ineffective when parties believe they can achieve their goals through force. "If you believe you have what it takes to make your adversary do what you want, you will never negotiate," he said.
He stressed that negotiation only occurs when the negotiated outcome seems better or cheaper than alternatives.
