Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called for the cooperation of all stakeholders with the mediation for lasting peace in the long-standing conflict in Bawku.
The crisis between Kusasis and Mamprusis has escalated lately, leading to the killing of a number of people in the area, with the Asantehene leading a mediation effort.
Speaking in Bolga, Upper East Region, on Monday during the NPP's national Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia expressed extreme sadness over the conflict, which he said is "unfortunately between two factions who are the same people with common things," and called for peaceful ceasefire. "I feel so sad about this conflict and the killing of innocent people.
Mamprusis and Kusasis are one people, and this should not be happening.
