Security consultant Prof Kwesi Aning has highlighted that the conflict in Bawku has evolved beyond ethnic tensions and chieftaincy disputes, now being primarily driven by organised crime and a transnational network.
Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show, he revealed that the violence, which has been ongoing for years, is now primarily driven by organised crime rather than the ethnic tensions and leadership struggles that initially sparked it.
Prof Aning emphasised that the situation in Bawku is far more complicated than most people realize. "The presupposition and the common perception are that what is happening in Bawku is essentially a conflict between two groups of people.
My agreement, however, is that it has transcended these two groups.
